Legend of a fella too

I watched Manuel er sorry Miguel beat Scott Harrison years ago. He won a cut I think, but I remember feeling it was very close.

He also fought similar legend Peter Buckley 5 times and just about every british prospect around his weight including Hamed.

Sorry phone doesn't seem to like Miguel!

Your phone racist innit!

Matthews points defeat to future British champion Michael Alldis was a belter.

I remember him, he'd get in with anyone his weigh and give a good account of himself.

I think the Hamed fight is on youtube

Yes he has that video but is gutted he doesn't have more of them, he said he's been in some fantastic fights I have only seen the hamed one though and it's the only one he has

Miguel was a true gent but in that fight with Scott, Miguel was getting badly beaten up, I remember only to well his corner shouting NOW and he headbutted Scott a beauty causing a very bad cut which required micro cross stitches from the doctor that night

It has Harrison sticking the head in because he was frustrated that he couldn't beat Matthews up. Essentially he did it to himself.

fornicate off pal we clearly heard Matthews corner shout "now" a he stuck the head on Scott, Mathews eye was nearly closed over from the beating he was getting or have you forgot that?
Funny how they refused a rematch later on

Haha if you look at his record he has never turned down a fight in his life, esp if the money was right.
I had Pat in my corner for most of my career and he never told me to stick the head in on no one.
So you are saying this was an organised plan? Did they plan this before the fight or did they do it mid round?
I'm sure that Miguel would have had a lot more wins on his record if the had used theses ingenious method! Perhaps Scott was just unlucky that he was the only one Miguel tried it on!
Did Miguel have to wait for this signal from the corner? Wasn't he capable of working out when to stick the head in himself!

with respect we know what we heard from his corner, Miguel is a top man who I haven't seen for years I actually admire boxers like him, didn't he own a colliery or something like that?

Originally he was a miner, often he used to do a shift underground before a fight. Then he we your on his own delivering coal and had his own building business, did a bit on the door too.

I grew up in the same area , nice bloke, tough bugger as a lot are around there, particulary the boys who worked in the private mines...

Didn't Seamus Casey work down the pit too?

I done him about 30 fights on dvd last year

I hope Miguel is healthy and well great fighter who fought many great fighters, a credit to boxing

Yeah Miguel is doing great, always a grafter in and out of the ring, he has made a good life for him and his family, pretty much unmarked and def undamaged, he is the same bloke he always was.

Will be seeing him tomorrow he will be chuffed to see everyone talking about him
