The Old Mongoose at 44 , something else.

Finally got round to watching Lubin/Fundora, from last April. Excellent chaos.

Fight starts around 5 mins in. Sound is a bit shit later on.

This would get, rightly, stopped about 4 times today.

 

Total carnage.

Some people are all about that recovery power.

 

Doing that work in training does pay off:

Amazing how he got up from that. It's not like he was floored by just anybody, it's Earnie Shavers!  Holmes was a tough hombre.

Ha ha yeah.

 

Loved hearing Big George talk after the fight, a very nice guy behind the fearsome image. He had a lot of respect for Lyle.

Did you see he’s getting sued for sexual assault? 
 

Two girls are saying he assaulted him back in the 70s. 
 

I don’t want it to be true, and they came out as his biopic us being released, but fuck it ruins everything.

That road work is indispensable.

 

I think Dempsey once said “ A champion is someone who gets up, when he can’t” and man Holmes had no idea where he was.

 

Sheer willpower.

Declan, did you see that Conlan/Wood fight? Unreal. Atmosphere, momentum swings, class enterances, knockdowns - everything you can ask for.

Great scrap! Had everything. Conlons done well to come back from it tbf. The fight with Lopez in May should be good. Lopez won't be intimidated by the Belfast crowd I suspect.

Even though he lost, that made me a Conlan fan and I bet all of his fans will feel the same in Belfast.

 

The atmosphere for the Lopez fight was always going to be obscene, but when you think a guy has really paid his dues and deserves it - the building will be shaking. 
 

And, of course, Conlan knows how to make an entrance. Probably the best since Prince Naseem, in that regard:

Agree with all that.  He's definitely box office.

Real tragedy that Sanchez died so young.
