Tibbs completely turned his life around following his upbringing in the world of gangsters.

No mean feat.

I liked what he said about, earning more money working than , mis behaving , , Something i've always told my sons , ,, No doubt theres big money for SOME carreer crims , but by and large most are just facking petty thieves who are just to lazy to work , and always end up with fack all .

Jimmy is one of the nicest people I've meet in boxing and very knowledgable in every aspect of boxing.
His record as a coach is as good as anyone's and should be recognised IMO
And his son Mark seems to be following in his footsteps.
Good luck to both

Most people involved in boxing seem to have history in one form or another so its not suprising, it seems to come hand in hand with the sport. There are lots of gangsters over the years, all makes good reading too

Hasn't Tony Sims got similar form? In fact, a good few of our trainers struggle to get into America.

If they struggle to get into America they'll never get into Australia - you watched 'Nothing To Declare'?
