There's getting on with someone and there's being friends, true friends wouldn't fight each other for money

Old bones Ian wrote:Simon Brown was very good friends with Maurice Blocker when they fought, Brown won by 10th round Tko, he went to help Blocker once the ref stopped it , Brown was is tears after the fight.
This is the best example.....Brown and Blocker were best friends. And yet they provided a really exciting scrap!

me and Micky Hunter are pretty good pals and were very regular sparring partners and me and him ended up fighting for the British Title a few years ago. We were pals before and after but im sure if you ask him, we were just doing what we love doing in the ring. And Micky loved a 'Tear up'

Yeah think that article highlights just how close those two men were. I would say that stands alone as thee best example of this type of thing. They weren't just friendly, they were actually best friends. Must have been weird preparing for that fight.

Dave Mcauley and Baby Jake Matlala were apparently good mates. They appeared to enjoy their fight, and the hug at the end looked genuine.
