Well done for putting this up. 8)

I always cite this fight as one of my favourite fights ever.

The build-up was just as good too.

Yes, great build up to that bonfire night!

Excellent fight with a great atmosphere that really added to the action. Kaylor was such a battler it's a shame his career didn't go better than it did and from what I heard it was somewhat of suprise when Drayton stopped him. I'd like to see more of Christie, he looked like a real good stylish boxer but his chin failed him in this fight big time.

Christie was a hero to me and my mates. Kaylor was supposed to be just a step towards bigge things. Jose Seys had shown that Christie could bo KO'd.

Next day at school (had to listen on the radio as the fight was not shown live) we couldn't believe it. I read an interview with Errol 12 months ago, sound slike he's doing well.

Hwe used to wear yellow trunks as a reminder of his days at Kronk Gym.
