Great story but ot does make me wonder why these idiots would want to flush their career down the toilet smoking weed in the weeks leading up to the fight

And a few weeks before it, I bumped into Rocky Kelly in a pub in Fulham, across the road from where I worked, and was amazed to see him buying some weed off some guy in the pub ( and no it wasn't Kirk haha )
I should have put a bet on Laing right then, but knowing Kirk, he was probably up to even worse!
it was pretty funny, he was obviously trying to go unoticed, with baseball cap pulled low etc, but I said good luck next week to him, and he looked very worried and asked me not to mention anything to his manager Harry ( not that I would have, plus I didn't even know the bloke either ) he was a real character, and tough as hell too. Originaly from Acton I think
its pretty well known kirkland was caught smoking weed an hour b4 the rocky kelly fight. i think they mention it in the bunce documentary.
