Yes, well sort of; more 'his people'.
Myself and a few mates were around the back of Earls Court (using a 'shortcut' to the station), celebrating Lewis' victory over Ruddock, with a few too many drinks in us, when we saw Duva, who's fighter Meldrick Taylor had lost to Espana on the undercard. We started to take the piss, and Duva, who is not exactly known for his calm approach at the best of times, let alone the worse; called us all bums and started to run towards us, before his people stopped him and chased us off themselves.

A great moment that turned into a bad ending for women's boxing.
Ann Wolfe at one time was with a group called RPM boxing. They had a website that I was fortunate enough to get a couple of columns/articles on.
I learned from corresponding via email with the only woman that beat Ann named Valerie Mahfood.
Laila was asking to fight Valerie..who at that time wasn't champion. Ann was
Here is the stupid part: Ann gained another belt, so rather than fight her....they decided to fight Valerie again.
Her last email to me was that Laila was leaving the division to fight the HW Vonda Ward...yeah...fuck unifying the MW division.
In my article I mentioned that Laila was Vonda's next fight and called her out.
The top moment in history here !!!!!!!! Vonda Ward accepts the challenge..then states for a tune up ....I'll fight the girl you just ran away from!!!! Ann Wolfe.
So Ann is fighting Vonda Ward as a tune up....Ann knocked her the fuck out
.....Ann ...pop killed, Momma died of cancer...she was twice raped...homeless raising two kids on the streets...by age 18!
After Vonda lost and Ann won....Laila went dancing with the stars...and a lie claiming...there was no one for her to fight.
Out of the need to make a paycheck...Ann started a gym, where a fresh out the penitentiary...James Kirkland came into her life.
I think Wolfe has made a little more money from (boxing) as Kirklands manager than Laila All-lies and her sorry resume of fighting George Forman daughter, Joe Frazier Daughter and a LW Christy Martin outweighed by 20lbs.. no catchweight...
Side note Valerie Mahfood gave Ann a title @ shot 4-0....she avenged the loss. Sweet moment to see Ann win titles in four divisions...becomes a trainer with a fighter who never lost under her tutelage.
If anyone deserved to be called Ali...it's Ann.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
Ali's virtuoso against Cleveland Williams
Riddick Bowe catching Larry Donald with a 2-piece at their press conference. Best and Fastest sucker punch ever. i SEE why a boxer's fists are considered deadly weapons in regular society. Whoa
Archie Moore's fantastic comeback against Durelle. That would NEVER happen in this era. Durelle would have been declared the winner long before the turnaround.
Spinks defeating that prick Holmes
Leonard/Hagler from the end of the 11th round to the decision. The excitement and surprise of Leonard's performance was absolutely amazing.
Angelo Dundee (after the 11th): "New champion"
Ring Announcer: "And NEW Middleweight Champion of the World"
Most memorable decision ever.
