This is taking me down memory lane. McAuly was a brilliant Irish fighter with a bomb of a right hand. He won the world title against Duke McKenzie in a good domestic battle. Dave also stopped the tiny but tough South African Jake Matlada.
These fights were all on mainstream BBC where I fell in love with boxing when Honeyghan, Bruno and Herol Graham were on.
Seems like he burned like a meteor. Caught a handful of fights from early trades when if it didn't happen in the States, you just read about some fighters in a monthly mag. Usually a month later ;D. No one ever one bricked ageless Baby Jake Matlala like that. McAuley had his track shoes on but just sharp shot him all day and close.
Just a great unreal gem with sadly two tragic stories. https://youtu.be/vFTyHf5fWMM
Robert v Akeem was insane and the atmosphere sounded incredible. 1990's had some great fights.
Even Crawford V Spence took an epoch to make.
If it had happened about 4 years earlier, before Spence started having car crashes for a living, he might have stood a bit more of a chance against Bud.

Thank you gentleman
A few popping up that I've never seen
Great stuff :D
Again this is all memory lane boxing for me.
Channel 4, a terrestrial channel showed these fighters from the far East.
I would never have become a fan of them and boxing if they had not shown these boxers on mainstream.
This is why boxing is now a minority sport.
