Did you see much of Carruthers patron? He looks superb in the little footage avaliable of him.

hello tinnie, i saw curruthers fight billy herbert[newcastle fighter] bobby sinn,great little Qld er, and Aldo Pravisini after a long layoff,he wasn,t the same fighter,Curruthers had a very good right hand,and he had power in his left,he punched in combinations, very fast on his feet, Sinn gave him a great fight,Sinn should have got the first shot at the vacant title,the fighters that beat him in his comeback fights would not have beaten him in the early days, and i,m not saying they weren,t good fighters, he was not the same fighter,did you know that Joe Frazier kicked of as a southpaw,hence the wicked left hook,all the best

hagler is one of my favourite fighters, tough fit and a warhorse,had to wait years to get a shot at the title because he was a southpaw but hung in there and done the job,loved to move forward but could still knock u out on the back foot

Thank you for the reply patron. I was reading the newspaper reports on the Sinn fight a few months ago, Sinn drew him into quite a fight apparently and had Carruthers eye cut quite early on from memory. Sinn's people went to some effort to get a release from his Stadiums contract to fight Jimmy, McConnell never seemed keen on putting the belt on the line against Sinn. Trevor King was also trying to land a fight with Carruthers too after beating Coleman and Bennett, he was on the way to big things before his accident.

Cheers for the tidbit on Frazier, i didnt know that :TU:
