People first heard of Herol when he flew off to Holland at 17 as a late substitute and came home with a gold medal! It was some sort of Multi Nations, nobody expected him to do anything over there (he was very much free-style the way he boxed!) but apparently he really shined.. Brendan Ingle took him on soon after and kind of fine-tuned Bomber's style to his own liking. Apparently Bomber had never really had a proper trainer before Brendan and just did as he pleased!
