Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I became a fan, as an ex amateur boxer, firstly because my old man, who had the money to go and I didn't, saw bugner beat Cooper, and the whole media establishment were anti Bugner, which pissed me off. The most realistic quote on the fight was from Harry Gibbs, the ref. Henry went to him after the fight and said' I thought I nicked it Harry' Harry said 'Henry , Champions don't nick fights'. As a youngster I was totaly pissed off with the Cooper/Brian London/Johnny Prescott/ Jack Bodell lot, they were all fucking useless by comparison, with all due respect. But the real reason why I was a mega fan was Bill Grundy, his 6 o clock news show in 1967 or 8, he introduced Joe Bugner as an 18 yr old heavyweight prospect, blonde Adonis, my mum turned to me, all 10 stone 7, and said, 'you do boxing but you don't look like him'!!
Lennox Lewis V Henry Akinwande - Akinwande just hugged Lewis like Lennox was his new girlfriend.
Mills Lane got so pi$$ed off with Akinwande that he threw him out.
