Gary stretch
I see that he produced and directed the Ronda rousey documentary currently on Netflix. Nice to see ex boxers making a go of their lives. It's an interesting watch, though obviously the botox wasn't a good idea

Re: Gary stretch
Wasn’t he dating Raquel Welch many years ago?
Re: Gary stretch
Better shagger than he was a boxer and he wasn't a bad boxer either!

He's been in a lot of films,including the classic, Oscar nominated Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus
Re: Gary stretch
He was in that Dead Man's Shoes with Paddy Considine too
Re: Gary stretch
Won't bother then
At least he's earning a crust, heard he was a decent operator in his day, bit before my time though.

Re: Gary stretch
He done George Collins in the school boys or NABC final ,Collins was something like 75-0 and had already signed with F-warren to turn pro after the fight and stretch spoilt the party.

Re: Gary stretch
Was the defeat early in his career a KO or a cuts loss?

Re: Gary stretch
Thanks thought it was a cuts loss.
I remember Stretch's fight against Gary Cooper, was one of those fights that's dominated by one boxer but it's still a hard fight for him
Cooper was a proper hard guy, lived in a caravan in the New Forest if my memory serves me right

Re: Gary stretch
Did he get knocked out in a chip shop by some rugby player years ago whilst showing off? Is that story true? I know I’ve heard it before
Re: Gary stretch
That story has def done the rounds but it's been attached to a few different playersTerminator666 wrote: ↑17 Apr 2020, 16:06 Did he get knocked out in a chip shop by some rugby player years ago whilst showing off? Is that story true? I know I’ve heard it before

Mostly associated with Colin Jones
Re: Gary stretch
Colin Jones knocked out Richard Moriarty in Top Rank in Swansea, one shot too, that's the def truth.

Re: Gary stretch
I think it was 3-1-6
Haven't seen full fight, but when I see cards like that it makes me wonder if the away fighter just got 10-10s when he shoulda got the round. I am an advocate for 10-10s but still have almost never scored more than 2 in a fight, and usually it's just 1
I notice in area title fights these scores seem more common, stuff like 98-96

Re: Gary stretch
Collins nearly won the clean sweep of national junior titles.... 4 schoolboy, 2 junior ABA and 3 NABC until the Stretch bout in the class C of the NABCs. Quite a buzz about Stretch knocking Collins out at the time in that final back then. Can only think that the record breakers thing could be about him doing the clean sweep which had already been achieved by Errol Christie a few years before...Christie won the senior ABA title aged 17mercman wrote: ↑17 Apr 2020, 16:24On tele, Record Breakers with Roy Castle (remember that?). Collins was meant to be breaking some sort of record but Stretch KO'd him.

Being from the traveller community he may well have been a year or two older whilst winning so many titles and bouts. He had a bumfluff moustache when he was about 14.
