John looks better (or less bad) than I’d been given to expect

It’s hardly embarrassing losing to Akinwande.

looks like he has his own particular style of getting knocked out too

Don't be obtuse.

No, I really don't get it. A guy gets sparked in a boxing match? What is the point of the thread.

Theo is an unboxed middleweight. His claim to fame is he was McCleans joey. Never mentions Lenny been sparked by two journeymen light heavies. Tyson’s pr team don’t want this. Especially now.

Stop being such an argumentative pr*ck, as everyone knows this footage has been virtually impossible to source for years, it also exposes certain 'untruths' John has told about his career (see 'bodyshot' post above) it also shows he was inept 30 years ago, so it's highly unlikely he's as formidable as he claims now.

I thought it would interest, in your case it doesn't (my apologies) so please keep your asinine comments to yourself.

Behave Porky, I enjoy your chats. Lee said you wasn’t a bad bloke the other day.

Yeah we know from his record that losing to Akinwande is hardly an enormous black mark on someone’s career and the second Garber fight was after a period of retirement.

One thing I noticed tho was after Tyson Fury won the WBO intercontinental he said he dedicated the title to his dad who fought for it against Akinwande. Obviously boxrec doesn’t list that and now finally the footage has come out it was announced as over 10 rounds as an eliminator for the British. No mention of the WBO intercontinental title.

Porky

First 'Theo' and now 'Lee' can you try keep the thread on topic?

Ok. John lost two fights, one to a to a world class fighter “Hardcore boxing fan”.

It's interesting to see these fights. Not sure why the Fury fan boys are raging so quickly. It is what it is, most reasonable folk know John wasn't up to much as a pro. It's not a shock.

Lovely right hand from Akinwande, straight down the pipe.

Nobody is raging. A small bodybuilder is trying to make a name off the fury name when he knows he can’t get it on. No shame in either loss.

I don't think I can endure anymore garbage from this Mickey bloke.

What have I said Russ?

He’s pretty quick handed, he gives it a go. The way he throws the right hand sometimes from low reminds me of his son.

Do you really think Porky would?

A) Sign up for Boxrec when he has a very popular YouTube channel

B) Use an alias.

Also please consider that 'Russ' is currently charging £5.99 to view these fights, why then would be make them freely available on here?

You're clearly not the brightest of men (understatement) but surely even you can see my point ?

So you’ve ripped Russ off?

He’s also obsessed with John whilst hanging out of the back of Peters Hula Hoop.

Kugan is on here, maybe 200 times more subscribers?

Yes, was at most of Forgarty’s early bouts.

But as stated earlier (have you lost track already?)

Russ posts fights on YT, charges £5.99

Next day

Russ posts fights on Boxrec F.O.C.

Where's the logic?

I think you owe me an apology (breath not held)

Based on views, Kugan doesn’t need to be six quid!

Imagine being so 'obsessed' with a boxer that you bring him up at the slightest pretext?

Must be hard for you.

Yes I always remember him saying something along those lines, although I thought Tyson said It after he won the English Title implying Tyson had won his British title eliminator and his dad has not v Akinwande

6:28 of the akinwande fight --- 'come on man!'

You mad because someone won't engage in your stupid Internet keyboard warrior pathetic games. At least he had the balls to step into the ring.

Tyson must have got his boxing skills from his ma

Actually , i think these video's of John coming out of the woodwork , actually stand him in goodstead . They show excatly what John was , and thats excatly what he has claimed to be in many video's

I've heard him say and he's said it regular ,,, I was no great shakes me , i was a part time boxer who showed up with limited training and got in for a quid , i never applied myself to training like a pro ... He;s said that and these video's show

They show , John looked like a part timer matched with bigger guys than himself and he shown limited skills ,and limited chin , but a big heart , he was never going to be any more than what he was , or what he claimed to be , has a boxer .

However , being a bully who does a lot of shouting and boasting , it unfortunatly makes people want to ridicule him over things like loosing to a good fighter like Akiwande , when really he was obviously brought to lose , yet had a go , if it was'nt for his later personality , people would be saying he was coregous .
