- Interesting interview. Retiring undefeated sometimes a coup of misfortune as also happened recently with Baby Joe Mesi.“As an amateur you had fights that last three rounds, and the judges then decided who won, so from that viewpoint it is very subjective. I’ve never been defeated, (I) just lost on points. To return to the point I think, I fear, that I would never have known when I was beaten either. I could have found myself on the other end of a hiding and foolishly would not have gone down. Defeat was a genuine worry for me because the only way I would have left the ring a genuine loser was if I was carried out. If you take that to the nth degree you are talking about dying, or becoming seriously damaged, and I had that mentality to allow that to happen to me, if I had been allowed to.”.
However, with a 37% KO ratio, Marsh wasn't exactly taking things into his own hands. I've seen one of his fights and will try to catch some more, but truthfully, I couldn't seen anything really special about him in the ring. Had he ever stepped up his competition, real good chance he might change his tune and stay down after that 3rd KD or retire at the end of a round.
Still, first rate article on an interesting, intelligent, competitive fighter.

under rated fighter i reckon.
very fit and had good skills to go with his aggression & pace.
shame his career was cut short.

Terry Marsh sent me his book and wrote the following message in it "To Altaf: Read it and weep!". I've been weeping ever since ..... due to his grammarTerry D wrote:lowersmiths wrote:good read....sounds like terry d should have proof read terry m's book.I'd have made an arse of it, grammar is not my strong point.
D Nevertheless it was a cracking read! I would highly recommend it.
