Anyone ever seen this fight doing the rounds? I dunno if it was broadcast but would like to check it out, do have a weakness for the british heavy scene.

Anyone ever seen a write up or recall details of the fight...?

a glutten for punishment if ever there was.

I cant remember anything about it the bout itself but knowing the protagonists I can only imagine that an ugly maul ensued.

Red DRagon might be able to help?

I am a glutten for punishment. I even have a copy of Garing Lane W10 Craig Payne on DVD. Awesome!

FAir play mate - that must have been a doozy..

No, thats why it lasted 10 rds.

But back to the Keith Long fight...

If it wasnt televised I would suggest that Steve Holdsworth or Eric Guy would be your best points of contact.

If they dont have it, its unlikely anyone will.

I know The Holdsworth doesnt have it, who is Eric Guy.....?

There was only one fight between Long and Holden correct?

If yes, then highlights at least were shown on BBC - on a saturday afternoon slot.

It was shown all in Wales (and I've taped over it) but it could have been in England. In Wales, we have a show called Wales on Saturday which means our Grandstand is cut.

From what I have seen, Long basically tried harder and was just "being first" more often. It wasn't a highly skillful fight (obviously) but both guys tried hard. Long a worthy winner.

Appologies for the typo - I meant it WASN'T shown in full on BBC Wales.

Sorry, I taped over it - so frustrated with BBC Wales' coverage. All I can tell you is that it was shown on Grandstand, so in an aftertoon slot.

i saw this fight. I vaguely remember the commentator, possibly richie woodhall, marveling about how Long was 'neutralising' Holden.
