you mean ronald mcintosh?

Is that his name? They use him when Bunce goes down the pub, or couldn't be bothered to turn up.

Balboa's after the creed re-match an inspiration to any young lads wanting to give boxing a go

More teeth than a bag of combs.

Yes Starling had just been knocked cold by a punch after the bell. By the time the interview started he hadn't a clue what had happened. He seemed under the impression he'd just knocked the other guy out.

He insisted to Merchant that he hadn't been hurt at all - they had to show him the replay before he realised what'd just happened.

Similar to what happened to Bami recently, though I felt sorry for the poor guy in that one, after just getting the full Sky build up.

James Toneys 'NEXT!!! Who's Next!!!' interview is my favourite.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't Richardson interviewing Hide after that one, James.

I always enjoyed the Harrison interviews, they were often a lot more entertaining than his fights.

The Nigel Benn handjob comment after beating Galvano amused me no end. The Honeyghan - Bumphus fight though, didn't the bell go for the start of the 2nd round and Honeyghan tore across the ring to flatten Bumphus who was slow getting off his stool?? Isn't that why now refs hold fighters back in the middle of the ring at the start of a round?

Danny Williams trying to convince the world that beating Sprott the second time was a legal victory.

Yes, Honeyghan just tore out of the blocks, perfectly legally as the bell had gone and initiated proceedings before poor old Bumphus had gottenoff his stool fully. Hilarous stuff, to say Honeyghan was ready to go is an understatement.

Nigel Benn after the fight with Barkley "Nigel,why did you hit him when he was down" "Because he was trying to get up",priceless.

Surprised no-one has mentioned the post interview fight after the recent Paul Dempsey (was it him or Adam Smith) - allegedly bout.

Teddy's were chucked, dummies spat and toys were coming out of the pram left, right and centre!

Yeah I remember watching McKenzie - Rolando Bohol on my 1inch Sinclair B&W TV when I was about 16....the interviewers was a little patronising...

Molinares ko'd Starling on the bell and I think Marlon thought he'd won when he was being interviewed....

I remember something of the Starling post fight interview - there was a big dilemma about whether the fight should have continued.

One of the strangest performances I have ever seen from a world champion. For the vast majority of the fight, Starling was fighting like a magician, absolutely awesome. He was really making Molinares look silly.

I remember my father coming in, he'd missed all of the early action and I said "Watch this guy, he is awesome and will smash Honeyghun" then for the round he got KO'd in he just did absolutely nothing. It was as if someone at turned off the duracel batteries. He wasn't tired, but seemed to be drugged or something. Weird display.

Not sure I've seen his name mentioned on the thread but a certain Mr Hamed's used to be quite entertaining too although in a make-you-squirm David Brent kind of way.
