Having just re-watched the Lewis McCall fight again and with the benefit of hindsite I feel a tinge of sympathy for McCall.

Apparently he was in need of a fix for weeks and Don King kept him caged up like an animal. he was fighting a man he had little chance of beating and even his original corner man was in the opposite corner.

I know people will say he was a disgrace and wasted his chance but he had a breakdown in the ring. Everybody, fans included were making him do something he didnt wanna do. That must be huge pressure.

At the time I was seething but as I say, with hindsite, I can feel a little sympathy for McCall.

You?
