Pete Buckley to retire - hats off to an unsung ring hero

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Hello. I'm a journalist on the Independent on Sunday and I'm trying to get in touch with Pete Buckley. His quotes in The Sun were interesting - we'd like to know more. Does anyone have any ideas about how I could get hold of him? Any leads gratefully accepted.

Send me a PM with your real name so I can check it out...all goes well and you are who you say I will get you in contact with him

Daxx can get you in contact with anyone!



on another note... Daxx, how did you get my mother's #?

Stop calling and just breathing into the phone... it's creepy

Pride you crack me up man....

DaxxKhan - thanks for your reply. I need to have posted 30 comments before I'm allowed to send a PM. But I'm real - Katy Guest, a feature writer at the Indy on Sunday. k.guest@independent.co.uk...

Greetings Katy. I do find it curious you asked for a contact on boxing site and not the BBBC directly, not to be disrespectful or anything but reporting on Peter Buckley is not your usual style?

[hack1]

No, you're right, I'm not a sports reporter; my usual style is general features, which is what this is for. I asked the BBBC first of all - they said they had no details for him that they were 'able to give' me.

Katy... please don't throw any low punches in your article. Buckley and boxing deserves better than some of of the articles from journalists who have jumped on the anti boxing wagon.

Thanks

Hey, give me a chance, I haven't thrown any blows yet! Personally I think his is a great story - having just read his interview in Boxing Monthly. But then, I write for money and have never won an award - does that make me a journeyman, or just a tomato can?

Okay you get the benefit of the doubt....

It makes you a dark horse... maybe you have been waiting for the right topic and the sweet science is it

Very true. Katy, please show him for the warrior that he was

[hack1]

I'd like to show him for the warrior he still is, if I can manage to speak to him. We only have The Sun's word (and his words taken from a 3 year-old interview) that he's retiring, don't we? Or does anyone here know something I don't? Seriously, can anyone think of a clever way to contact him, or his trainer/ manager, Nobby Nobbs (no answer at the number I've got for him today)? I'd like to give him a chance to speak for himself, but as you've gathered I'm not exactly an expert on the boxing world...

Anyone who takes a cheap shot or writes some BS about the sport out of sheer dislike in a regional Newspaper without merit or facts to back up what is written is subject to having cheap shots taken at them and what ever publication they are associated with...by every boxing site with over a 250,000 hit count....By time everyone was done not too mention what promoters would do in a ramapge their career wouldn't be worth a plum nickle outside of obituarties and police blotters

[hack1]

Crikey. Was it something I said?

If you really want to be creeped out check in her sock draw and take a peek at the pics from our weekend at Don King's....

I found out the easy way why he is always saying "Only in America"
