Big Fight Brawl in Porthcawl

Post by MightyWarrior »

Great short Pathe news reel clip of the British heavyweight title fight on the beach. Nicked from that epic thread over on boxers of the past. 50 years old and excellent quality.

Unbelievable scenes at the end, as everyone jumps into the ring for a vicious punch up, including London's dad, brother and possibly mother.

I like the way the commentator said about London's Dad and brother entering the fight and saying that he was 'well represented'. :lol:

London boxed Richardson's ears off before he was butted out of the fight (blatantly), and had a real case to be angry. London's dad, Jack, was a former British heavyweight champion so there was some 'experience' in there.
