Let me tell you, he came straight in off the street and was a little B******. Never trained hard, always disobeyed everybody. He had his first amateur fight when he was 15, his last when he was 18. He was brash and cocky, and went long periods out of the gym but clearly had ability. Didn't take boxing seriously. I think his amateur record was 11-4. He was a very dirty fighter back then, but he did win the Western Counties senior ABA's at bantumweight.
