Thanks mate, glad it's working out for him.

It's stange, but even though he won the European title and defended it, I thought he underachieved. Loved watching him fight.

At the time, I always thought he could be outworked by a high could puncher.

Good article that

The book ever gonna happen?

Pat was a serious puncher...

He was a live wire out of the ring as well.

Really? What kind of stuff?

He is from a rough area and someone people look up to; he enjoyed the attention and has a lot of friends. He liked to go out and flatten the doormen, go to different towns and if there was trouble he'd get stuck straight in. It was very important to him that he had a hard street rep. I think I remember that one of his friends was either killed or seriously injured with a knife, others were shot at, etc etc. Nothing secret about it; he's talked about it to reporters. He's got his act well and truelly together though now and is enjoying training etc etc.

I imagine with his left hook he ironed flat a few bouncers

Yes, I imagine a few of them didn't know what had happened.
