not really fair, Camacho was probably 3 years or more past peak at that point?

True.I was being a bit harsh there, but I did hear an intereview with Emmanuel Steward that said a young up and coming whitacker absolutely hammered Hector, although sparring is not the same as a real bout.I thought Chavez had his measure though.

they both did basically the same job on Ramirez, for what its worth, who was the only common opponent I can think of....

Steve and trainer Ronnie Rush and the late, great Howard Winstone.

I'll have to start being nice to the wife. This sounds like a good event.

me and the missus would definely be interested. £60 A Pop is reasonable aswell, you say the guests would be easily accesible ?

thanks for the info

please keep posting any updates

I'll be going to this.
Counterpuncher I disagree with you Hamed didnt go on to be a better boxer than Camacho snr. Unlike Hamed Camacho snr did try and test himself against the best more than once. He took on Chavez,Trinidad and DeLaHoya and Rosario and Ramirez were better than anyone Hamed beat.

i think you'll find the above post would have been better directed at someone else. someone who actually made the claim you are trying to rebut would be a start.

Do you know what Pat Thomas is up to these days?

Pat told me years and years ago that a fighter should always hold his hands high. "A fighter's guard is the only real protection he has in there," said the great Cardiff champion.
When I see a fighter holding his hands low and eventually getting chinned, I remember it.

I used to work for Pat when he owned a coachbuilding firm in about 1990, really nice fella. Last I heard he was still training kids in Fairwater.

There must be some well-trained kids in Fairwater.

Any more news on this this?

I'll start another thread closer to the time but for those interested, the Legendary Julio Cesar Chavez is coming over in April next year for a few Dinner shows.....

now, THAT I am interested in.

You should speak with Dave Furnish, he has done loads of successful dinner shows.
