if you order a copy, Big Dave will personally turn up at your house to deliver it

[Coco]

But then the said posters didn't come back, off the top of my head, Bricks and a couple others, maybe they are missing........

Supremo and Boxing Knockout.......

[Boxerbeetle]

Didn't realise this had come out, I'll be buying for sure, really enjoyed his last book.

[orbtastic]

Andy Clarke's Knockout looks decent. Also didn't realise Maurice Hope had a book out.

If its as good as The Fixer, I'm in.

Supremo and Boxing Knockout.......

Supremo did come back and post a few times, but stopped in 2022 after the Taylor v Catterall I decision:

I used to be obsessed by boxing. Boxed myself for years, used to watch multiple fights a day, read every magazine around, on every forum talking boxing, stil coach.

However, in the last 3 or 4 years I've lost all my love for watching it, i would now struggle/be completely unable to tell you the top man in most divisions.

I watched that fight last night though and it completely reinforced why I barely show any interest in the sport anymore.

An absolute robbery. Incompetence could maybe be identified if you were generous and if it was one judge, but when it's 2 then it's corruption pure and simple.

I don't want to invest any of my time in a sport like that.

Impossible, nothing is as good as The Fixer.

[SeanBrennan]

ordered it, he's boxing history book is really good.

[Delta Jay]

He’s a proper silly Billy but you don’t half warm to it. I’ll order it on payday myself. His 5 live podcast is always hilarious when you can tell his interviewee is just cracking up at his daftness

[SeanBrennan]

I can't help but like him, he boxed himself and his knowledge is excellent.

[margaret thatcher]

ya and if you hurt his feelings online he'll send 'big dave from sheffield' after your arse

If I remember correctly, Big Dave is the grass who supplied Bunce with their real names before these guys disappeared

I am intrigued, who is Big Dave from Sheffield?

bunce used to post here from time to time. one time he popped up to take issue with what some posters were saying, and made a threat that a 'big dave from sheffield' would sort them out if they continued

hopefully bunce isnt such an utter baby online any more. for a supposedly affable man of the people you'd think he wouldnt be as up tight as he is. this is the same guy who got into a shouting match with a teenager at a school rugby game and then moaned about it on radio, mocked and belittled a chronically ill woman, threatned to sue the fans who spearheaded the campaign to bring him back on sentanta, absolutely went off and maligned a reporter who said jones-lebedev 2 was off and when it turned out to be true he just double downed and bitched some more.

a real boxin man, a real twat too

Thanks for explaining. How silly. He once made the papers once for falling out with a pupil at his son's rugby game once too, he has form for being less than stellar https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/ ... 44242.html

I do like his writing though.

[margaret thatcher]

lol ya, he's an uptight little baby who throws his rattle out the pram very easily

i agree though, he's had a very nice career and made good contributions to boxing

[SeanBrennan]

amen to that.
