Remember the first time i saw Ricky, he actually lost on that evening.
It was in the amateurs i was a kid and it was in Belfast against Francis Barrett (who actually trained in my gym.)
All action, superfit and aggresive as a pitbull. Amazing. When he turned pro i was watching, every fight the same, quick to the middle of the ring and straight to the body. He never held back then...Always makes me nervous as im afraid he';ll get stopped on a cut or tire early.
Just amazing.

Never got behind a fighter like i did Ricky (with the exception of Mr.Ali of course.)
