Re: Lenny Mclean v Roy Shaw, who actually won there fights?
I've read Shaw's book. He is clearly mentally ill.
Kimbo holds back when he hurts guys in those street fights, Lenny and especially the mentally ill Shaw are 100% sheer violence merchants that get turned on at the sight of a beaten, wounded opponent.. so the loons would win.

Re: Lenny Mclean v Roy Shaw, who actually won there fights?
Well, to be honest, i'm not really impressed by crazy violent lunatics bragging about bashing people up.
Ive known some seriously violent people in the real world and now hate that lifestyle.
Shaw's book was complete shit. To me he's either mentally ill or thick as shit and certainly not someone i would want to be around. I read it in two sittings whilst working behind a bar.

Re: Lenny Mclean v Roy Shaw, who actually won there fights?
Agree completely, I've grown up around people like this & in the most part they are nasty pieces of work.
The guy I mentioned in the previous post was virtually no different to Lenny McLean, but because of a romanticization of 60s mobsters, McLean is seen as a 'hard bastard, real sound top fella', whilst Sparks is seen (rightly) as a one man crimewave & vicious killer. Not all criminals & fighters are like that, but McLean (& I have to admit I enjoyed his book) was a bully who knew it. He was not one of these guys standing up for the little guy & the picked upon. Fact.

Re: Lenny Mclean v Roy Shaw, who actually won there fights?
wasnt keen on the roy shaw book to be honnest no where near as good as lennys book, i think they fought 3 times? lenny won 2 & roy 1? roy said he lost one of the fights cos he ate too many jelly babiesbefore the fight! Lenny could beat anyone in a bare knuckle fight bet he was the best in the world at his best

2006 thread i think lol
One of those Mclean v Shaw fights is brutal. Shaw gets a proper bearing and the only thing keeping him up is Mcleans repeated uppercuts :-)

Re: Lenny Mclean v Roy Shaw, who actually won there fights?
BARE KNUCKLES, the fighters, and street fights are interesting to most of us. You have to admire them even when you can't understand why they do it.
Closest thing to it is MMA, in my opinion.

Re: Lenny Mclean v Roy Shaw, who actually won there fights?
I read both their books. They were tough but you gotta wonder how much is fact and how much is fiction, or at the very least exaggerated.
I know Roy beat Ron Stander, which is pretty impressive. Not that Stander was world class, but he was a solid journeyman who fought some tough guys and even knocked out Ernie Shavers.
