That bird Bridges beat yesterday I’m sure comms said she’s never knocked any one out and had 26 wins with 5 world title defences.

Even for women… that’s going some.

Yes, Marsh was a cut above from a very young age. He won three ABA titles in a canter and should have gone to the Moscow Olympics in 1980 but the selectors ordered a box-off between him and Liverpool banger Joey Frost, and Marsh, who hates authority, told the selectors to stick it. He had outscored Frost on the way to the 1980 ABA welterweight title.

Would have been 79 or 80 he fought him.
Bit of a character Marsh being a Chess boxing champion too. He’s certainly led an interesting life.

Not world class but good. David Brophy was a big bloke but light hitting. Bizarrely he stopped that Aussie ex Ibo champ Zac Dunn who was a bit of a banger so maybe he could punch. 2 kos from 24 wins I think. I reckon he could probably dig more than records showed in honesty. Anyone know if he's still going?

Retired. Looks like he’s a PT now, judging by his Instagram.

Great call, especially as the Mundine KO was such a strange anomaly.

I'm not sure if he ever held a world ranking (he did beat Jameel McCline who'd fought Chris Byrd for the IBF title two fights prior) but this is unusual.

Mundine was well behind on the cards, but he was doing well none the less.

Manuel Medina is a good one.

Ah good old Manny Medina. I was a fan when he was coming over doing his thing. Herky Herky style and just looking like a rough and tough mexican. Value for money was Medina.
