Why?

Mickey senses possible criticism of Leeds based fighter and is ready to defend him

He looked to of recovered but the nail went during the Fury camp.

Poor Dave :(

Great fight, the winner can regard them self as the tenth best middleweight in the country

Bit surprised we didn't get the ever tedious 'Ay ham hay fytin mann' line ..

Bit vague though Mick, you seem to best friends with every boxer who's ever lived in Leeds and privy to the activities of every gym in Leeds.

A very intelligent and complex man, he was very rare and unusual. Indeed and he seemed a troubled soul in many ways, cursed with low self esteem. Here's the fight (poor quality though) KO is around 6.17 (right hander too, I thought it was a left hook for some reason) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Because he knocked Cooper cold and I don't think that many achieved that, Patterson seems to be remembered more for his speed and skills but he had tremendous power. Cooper says in his biography it was the cleanest stoppage he ever suffered and Patterson had the quickest hands of any fighter (inclu...

Yes, he will always be known as the man who was outclassed by Andre Ward but never (NEVER) chased a rematch.

'We' ?

All the more remarkable when you consider Patterson was probably a natural lightheavy (he was at one point being considered as a challenger for Bob Foster's title) Patterson did well against Henry Cooper. Not sure what point you're trying to make there, Keith was saying what a 'fantastic' fighter P...

Frustrates the hell out of me, he must have an 80" reach and going by how hard he punches with the right his jab could be/should be really powerful one, total waste.

Could you translate that please?

Agreed, he just cannot take a shot . He caught a few good cracks in the first and managed to stay upright so I don't think his chin is THAT bad. His biggest mistake on Friday was not throwing anything back to get the Teper's respect. If Price had thrown a decent jab (WHY is his jab so sh*te?) and w...

Sound an utter hoot Jim, personally I'd rather have root canal work.

Let me think ..... NO

I think Arreola's got his eye on the next Prizefighter.

A 'spent force' who beat Thomas Hearns for the 175lbs title two fights before

And what about Barkley v Froch (especially the Barkley of the second Hearns fight) ?
