That was Dirk and I's "mate" Steve McCarthy that got bashed over the head with a stiletto, and the Guildhall in sunny Saaarfhampton. He must make a mint from that clip on Question of Sport.johnswan1 wrote:Yeah I remember reading about a fight where a guy was getting beaten up and his wife got into the ring and start bashing his opponent over the head with a high heel shoe. Can't remember who it was though.
Can't remember what year it was, possibly 89.
..and it was the boxers Mum, not his wife
Steve is now doing porridge. Was it a diamond heist Dirk, I forget?

Not sure whether it's true or not, but I heard that 'amateur' performed the same routine/gimmick before every fight. It was his 'thing'. Nothing accidental about it at all. Can't remember his name, though...larry cake wrote:TerribleTerry wrote:The amatuer who had clearly never been in a ring before - just plain weird:

The boxer who got knocked out cold, and then his nervous system thinks he's still fighting so he's swinging away with his eyes closed on his back.
It's on youtube, as someone posted it on Current Scene a while back, but can't find it now.
Seeing is believing!

I was a big fan of Jamaican Simon Brown growing up - his first war with Tyrone Trice is a real forgotten classic - never seems to get a mention in the 'great fight' polls.
His fight with personal friend Maurice Blocker was also highly charged. A much under rated fighter was Brown..

I was at that fight, supporting Steve. Steve's brother, Paul, had to come into the ring after the fight to calm the crowd down, as it was on the verge of a full scale riot.johnswan1 wrote:Tony Wilson v Steve McCarthy.
In Southhampton, England on September 9, 1989, Tony Wilson fought Steve McCarthy. On the third round Wilson was knocked down and he was able to get up before the 8th count. He was then bombarded by McCarthy on the rope. The referee seemed to stop the fight by TKO, but wait... a lady, later known as Milna Wilson, Tony Wilson's mother, entered the ring and smashed his son's opponent's head twice with her high heeled shoes.
The referee suspended the fight for awhile to let the security guard Mina Wilson get out from the ring, then asked both fighters to continue the fight. Shocked and confused, McCarthy refused to continue the fight which made the referee decide Tony Wilson's victory by TKO in round 3.
Steve really had Wilson in all sorts of problems, although Wilson was managing to duck and weave a bit, and Steve was never the hardest puncher. He was really pounding on Wilson though, when all of a sudden we see a shape come into the ring. Took a while to realise what had happened.
It wasn't just the confusion wich had effected Steve, it was the fact that a cut had been opened up on his head where he'd been clocked with Mrs Wilson's shoe, so he didn't feel he should have to carry on. The ref waved it off and all hell broke lose, Wilson just about made it back to his dressing room as all sorts of stuff rained down on him and various people tried to 'have a word'.
Bizarre night!!

On Steve McCarthy. How many have seen his fight with Dariusz Michalczewski back in '92? He got DQ'd for essentially being a dirty so and so. Michalczewski's face was a picture, he didn't know what to make of the crazy Brit.
"Fan-man" is the undisputed bizarre boxing moment champ.

During the 1st round of an amateur bout i had. I puked up a mouthful of sick, managed to hold it in my mouth for the last 30 seconds of the round. Got back to the corner went to spit it in the bucket, and managed to gob it all down the trainer. If looks could kill.

Simon Brown was a class boxer. Was probably No1 welter for quite a while. Nice skills and a big punch. Also took apart Terry Norris in a big upset at light middle. Later on if got fed to Hopkins at middleweight in a mismatch. Brown ended up blowing his cash if earned in the ring , bad investments etc. Think if got himself sorted now, with help from the 'Fist' organization.
