Kirkland Laing : RIP The Gifted One

[Master]

Bunce did a very good interview with Laing on BBC years ago. Think he was living a simple life and did not like the fame.

Claim to fame was beating Roberto Duran and then not capitalise on that huge victory. He also had huge domestic fights with Colin Jones losing twice to him and being knocked out.

I remember Kirkland Laing fight on BBC making a number of comeback fights to win British and European titles. That was exciting watching him with his hands down and using his reflexes. He had a bomb of a right hand.

RIP Gifted one.
