Funny, was at a team building thang yesterday, had to give an interesting fact about yourself so I said that I'd been in the ring with some (briefly) well known boxers.
Turns out the woman running the show was Billy Schwer's ex wife.
Nice lady, didnt make us build a raft.
Someone in the group had met Roy 'say what you see' Walker so I was very much second place in the interesting facts department :mad:
Nick the Greek. Used to spar some of his guys.
He's a character :P
Thats him ,he is the one who was having trouble affording insurance for the kids he taught.
He trained a distant relative (through marriage) of ours to a high standard Cant remember his first name but Goodrich is his surname.
When i was 16 i sparred a few times with another amatuer called Geoff McCreesh....later he turned pro and won the British Welterweight and beat The Rose Of Soweto
job biscuit (could have been a contender)!!!
eh eh!!!
There is no way that I could let this one go ;DQuote:

I did box a former Golden Gloves winner and it was the most one sided sparring match I had ever been a part of...I whipped that dude's ass.
I must admit I felt a little bad that later he went and murdered his stepfather....but then again it means I beat the shit out of a murderer

I cannot remember his first name either but I've seen him spar a bunch of times, decked one of our 20yo amateurs when he was 16 or so. Good kid I hear.Quote:

Easily Terry Dunstan - That guy is so good, former European champion and would easily have become a World Champ had it not been for his long stint in prison. So much talent.
He pretty much used to toy with me (obviously I was nowhere near that level) - He'd let me have free body shots where he'd expose his ribcage, put his dukes up like the old queensberry rules style and STILL land shots on me lol
Sad about his first round K.O on the undercard of Haye/Klitschko - but Afolabi is one heck of a banger! A younger Dunstan would have beaten him i've no doubt.
As a side note he's a heck of a guy and had so much time for me in the famous Repton Boxing club when nobody else did. He'd constantly rip the piss out of you but when he gave you a rare compliment you knew it was sincere because of it. Top guy.
Myself. Shadowboxing. Tried to slip one of my punches but it grazed me. I staggered sideways and put a hole in the drywall. I went on to win a title while I was left patching the drywall.
