Does anyone understand john_newman's contributions to this thread? His remarks all seem to be apropos of nothing.
Seriously?

I haven't the foggiest what he is blathering on about except that maybe, he has put his reply into a translator via four different languages then finally into English...and hey presto...gibberish!

Ernie Lopez? Good call on magri.
Just looked it up now, Indian Red (Ernie) Little Red was his brother
I remember reading in Jim Watt's autobiography that he was going to fight on the undercard of Earnie Shavers vs Richard Dunn but it was shelved. Just as well I suppose!

IStracey would have done horrible things to Danny. Lol, I didn't know they were related.

Wasn't that Thad Spencer?

I'll throw in Karl Taylor's win over Dingaan Thobela.
Thobela had been a world champion at lightweight the year before and would go on to be a world champion again at super-middle, whereas Taylor would win only 4 of his following 130 fights.
