its true, the only reason he never went further in boxing is that his extensive bareknuckle career meant the stylistic differences were too difficult to adjust to, he could never get used to the gloves when he'd done so much stuff on the cobbles. he developed his own punching style specifically to cause cuts, if you look at his knuckles they're flattened down from the extensive hardening & conditioning he did with them.
a tough, tough man, those in the know accord him his proper respect
I was in the same hotel as him in Cardiff for the Takam-AJ fight.
I couldn’t sleep so went for a walk. I was startled by two badly beaten horses running down the street.
When I got to my hotel I found Adam Smith in the lobby with his shirt off (Russian mafia tattoos everywhere)with each hand either side of him in a bucket of horse urine.
He said he has to keep his knuckles hard as You never know what will happen when you live and breathe the cobble life.
He prefers to rustle his horses from the wild as they graze on grass that’s been trodden on by Wild Boar.
He gave the horses a bit of a kicking just for the Adrenalin buzz, but he let them live.
When I saw him ringside later that night he just gave me a wink.
The man gets my respect. Old school no-nonsense.

F*ck me 23rd April edition of BN , double page of Bunce still going on about his video of tracking down Kirkland Laing in 2003/2004.
How many times is Bunce going to wheel that story out.
He's turned into the pub bore years ago, now it's hearing the same stories from him.
very good
