Prescott was a future journeyman if that counts he's 12-24 since that win

I had money on that

I remember watching that - was so shocked! I followed Prescott after that and remember Kevin Mitchell schooling him

Freddie Pendleton had a habit of beating contenders when considered the opponent, he was 14-13-1 when he knocked out Roger Mayweather.

Pendleton ended his career with a 47-26-5 record and an IBF world title.

Kenny Vice absolutely sparking Jim McDonnell.

Buck Smith sparked Laing

Horrific KO. Vice levelled him.

Reminds me of the Mickey Hughes KO of Gary Jacobs which was a couple of weeks later. No chance of getting up.

Think we just watched one…

If margs and fishers dad both thought Dave won… Dave won.

Agree not super wide but super clear.

On the domestic circuit William Warburton & Brett Fidoe deserve an honourable mention for snapping a few unbeaten records.

Chris Saunders taking Kevin Leushing's '0'.

The rematch was a crazy fight.




Steve Robinson beating John Davison and then upsetting the other brits (McMillan, McKenzie, Hoko)

Lower level, but in the 90s there was an undefeated Welsh prospect called Gareth Jordan was getting some hype and even talked about for the British title , he lost to the always game Mervyn Bennet who was something like 12-9 at the time.

how da f@ck does that ref not call a knockdown for that first one

Surely been mentioned but a fella named Scott Harrison who was 4-0 at the time was expected to beat Miguel Matthews who was something like 11-80 , didn’t quite end up like that.

Although seeing him bashed around by Sosnowski a couple of fights previous meant it wasn’t a massive surprise to me, but Danny Williams was not supposed to lose to Carl Baker. Remember it caused a bit of a cuffel as Danny was British champion at the time.

just watched lueshing-tito trinidad, lueshing floored tito in the 2nd before getting stopped in the 3rd after 3 kds. loosh an erratic fighter with speed , power, and not so much chin. fun stuff

saunders finished only 23-23 but has british and english titles to his name

Enzo Mac getting ice by a 7-9 Lee Swaby deserves a mention

Yeah it's on youtube somewhere.

Eddie Hearn spoke about it in an interview years and years back, said he was stood in the crowd behind Vice when the punch landed and it looked like McDonnell had been shot in the head by a sniper.

McDonnell carried out the ring on a door that had been pulled off it's hinges shows the level of medical care at the time.

Wasn't Harrison a victim of the old BBBC rule that you could be stopped on a cut even if caused by an accidental headbutt?

Had that not happened then Herbie Hide vs Danny Williams would have happened for the European Union title.

I think this was another accidental headbutt TKO. Why the hell didn't they change that rule decades before

Not sure if been mentioned but Kevin McBribe was still a prospect when Louis Monaco stopped him. Then McBride was a journeyman when he stopped Mike Tyson.

Blaine Logsdon v Crawford Ashley.

Hastings Rasani also had a fair few decent wins, as a journeyman.
