I always liked watching Cello Renda. Shame he never fought for a British title. The double knockdown in the first Samuels fight still ranks as one of strangest things seen in a British ring. Very similar fighters. Chinny punchers are always great value. Martin Concepcion also springs to mind.

Currently I follow New Zealand heavyweight, Hemi Ahio, after seeing him on the undercard of the Parker V Fa fight.
He had a cracking fight with Julius Long, and since then, I try to look out for his fights.

Yeah was a cracking fight , I’ve seen it in MMA but haven’t seen it in bare knuckle that would be brilliant

I always liked Paul Samuels, I don't know why other than he was a banger and had an interesting back story. I met Wayne Alexander at the York Hall years back and was chatting to him, in a purely conversational way I said I wanted Samuels to beat him, the look he gave me was priceless.
Ross Hale
Napa I think I saw more times live than anyone else, and purely on account of he seemed to be on every card I went to for a while. Same with Johnny Greaves.
Crawford Ashley
Ole Kelemetsen
Eddie Smulders
Fabrice Tiozzo
Mike McCallum
Graciano Rocchigiani
Dariusz Michalczewski
Pongsalek Wongkongjam or whatever his name was, just to see if he could keep that run going
Yuri Arbachakov
Ozzie Nazarov
Jhonny Gonzalez
Some of these you had to either catch them on Granada on a Sunday months after or you might see the result on Ceefax if you waited long enough for it to scroll through 50 pages of international sports results. Or on ZDF sometimes, I think I caught most of Ottke's fights live but had to sit through the pomp and German commentary to find out if he'd held onto his title again.

Ian Napa because he was named after a holiday resort.
Elvis Parsley just for the name
Funso Banjo for the name and being a bit of a nutter.

Came in to say the same thing!mickey1975 wrote: ↑13 Nov 2021, 11:08 Martin Jolley. He was always on Screensport with his ginger buffoon and tash.
Remember he was on Eurosport. Steve Holdsworth said, 'he's a man that's not very good at his job... But what can you expect from a man with ginger hair?'
He always gave it a good go, Martin.

Same, from the amateur ranks up to now. He may be a bit small for the big time though.Syntax Error wrote: ↑24 Nov 2021, 11:54 Currently I follow New Zealand heavyweight, Hemi Ahio, after seeing him on the undercard of the Parker V Fa fight.

I've seen him live 3 times, once ringside, but I wasn't really allowed there, I was just keeping a rich blokes seat warm

Nice list, orb. For me, it was always Jorge Paez, although I can't say it was for no reason. Hairline decisions may sum it up best, in terms of results and looks. Plus the backflips, sequined shorts almost to his ankles, mickey taking during fights. And listening to Reg Gutteridge commentate on it, sounding weary at the modern world, just added to it all. Plus Khaosai Galaxy, for the whole crocodile farm madness thing.orbtastic wrote: ↑24 Nov 2021, 15:12 I always liked Paul Samuels, I don't know why other than he was a banger and had an interesting back story.

George Groves. I remember watching him in Liverpool at one of his early fights. I think David Price made his debut that night.
Something about his fighting style attracted me so I went to most of his fights thereafter.
