Gary Delaney should be getting out soon; next year some time.

Michael Nun will never get out of prison.

I've just had to laugh at Clifford Etienne's bio on Wikipedia which states that, "his 150 year sentence was reduced to 105 years on a technicality"!

A technicality?!

What difference does that make to Etienne?

Lonnie Craft- After being convicted of first-degree murder, Lonnie Craft, whose ring name was "Battling Blackjack," was executed in the Arizona State Prison in Florence, Arizona on March 7, 1959.

Del Fontaine- After being convicted of a murder of a woman he was acquainted with, Fontaine, a Canadian boxer, was hanged in Wadsworth Prison in London, England on October 29, 1935.

Two San Francisco boxers, Ed "K.O." Kruvosky and Ed "Spud" Murphy, were convicted of rape along with Ed "Spud" Murphy in connection with the Howard Street Gang case with each being sentenced to state prison for 1-to-50 years during the early 1920s.

After being convicted of burglary, Red Watson, a California boxer, was incarcerated in San Quentin State Prison in California beginning in 1919. After being convicted of robbery as a minor, Watson also served a term in a reformatory in Whittier, California during the early 1910s.

Women's WBC super welterweight champion Mikaela Lauren was in jail for 14 months for distribution of anabolic steroids back in 2005. Mikaela was not a boxer then but a former elite swimmer. She took up boxing after coming out of jail.

To the actual time he lives there probably makes no difference , to the time he spends wasting tax payers money , getting to meet his lawyers and studying for his case , Quite a lot
,, For the oppurtunity to sit back and laugh at all the dumb fackers who are out working to pay taxes so he can play games , A hell of a lot

For relieving boredom ,, a hell of a lot more .

Davey Hilton definitely, and maybe the other bros Mathew and Alex. Not sure.

"Earl Butler" ? I think thats the name. The guy that punched his opponent after they announced the decision. Butler was mad he lost,so he turned around and socked the guy as he was getting ready to celebrate the victory. I heard The Butler guy did something worse shortly after this and got 20 years or something along those lines.

Surprised No one has mentioned The Pin,Spilka. Its well documented that he's done some time
in the joint. Right In his homeland of Poland.

Correction. "James Butler". I just watched the clip on yt. He socked "Richard Grant" just as Grant
was starting to celebrate his decision victory over Butler.

What ?

As a bouncer, he sucker punched a guy, killing him on the spot; i've heard he was doing life.

there is the fella that spent twenty odd years in jail for a crime he never committed, and all he wanted to do was have one fight, upon his release his dream became a reality he had and won his fight, i cant remember his name off hand.

That's a bit harsh! I believe he kept on getting nicked for DUI, drugs and stuff.

He was hardly a master criminal.....

Have to agree with you here. Morrison should never have been in jail. Even though he should have had the common sense not to be driving around with his bong.

Ok, fair enough. Some of these convictions should warrant some jail time. I was referring to a pot arrest that stemmed from a probation violation.

1993- You can't pop people for looking at you or for looking at someone you're with. It was probably an awed boxing fan.

1996- Don't know the particulars here. Sometimes you have to get a bong or a shotgun from point A to point B. If he was moving and it was in a UHAUL or something, that is one thing. If he was parading it around looking for trouble, that is quite another. Americans are funny about their guns. If you're white with no criminal record, you're good to go. If you're young, look like a hippie, are a person of "color," or got convicted of something you are in the other category.

The rest are pretty bad. Frankly I think cars overall, can be more dangerous than guns. I don't have much sympathy for poor driving. But yes, I stand corrected; he should have had some jail time if he did all those things.

it makes a difference in the outcome whether you depend on a public defender or have a decent lawyer ready.
you're going to get charged no matter who you are, as obviously morrison was.

rocchigiani got locked up for 5 months for beating up a cab driver
didn't see if helenius was mentioned, but i could swear he had DUI's and spent at least
a few days locked up

Juergen Braehmer has been in the nick a couple of times at least. Including beating up an ageing motorist

Artur Szpilka did prison time back in his native Poland I think for football related violence if my memory serves me. And the bloke in America was Dewey Bodzilla who fought on a Bernard Hopkins undercard.

Well, it can make some difference if his sentence may be reduced (to 1/3 for example). I know wiki says his sentence is without parole, but a lot of things can change during the next 150 (or even only 105) years

Dawid Kostecki went out of prison last year. He was there even before starting boxing career for battery. Later he went there for heading crime group (connected with prostitution) and there were also some drug-related accusations (though this was not proven by the court).
