I don't recall the name (maybe Tony something?) but i have a tale to tell about it....one night while on a drunken night out around Wolverhampton i was wandering around with my none Boxing friend talking loudly about the weigh divisions when a tall black guy came up behind me and said he also loved Boxing and that it was his mother who whacked the guy with the shoe as it was his brother Boxing in the fight!

I think it might have happened in Wolverhampton so i have no reason to disbelieve my unknown friend

Thanks lads

The name McCarthey has jogged my memory...

Who has seen Dariusz Michalczewski versus Steve McCarthy?

Steve acted like a proper knobber that night. It was funny, though.

tony's a good guy. Does a lot of work with local schools in birmingham teaching boxercise and that sort of thing.

Where about in brum does he do his boxercise class's

What did Steve McCarthy do? Always suprised me that he fought someone in Darius's class.

The McCarthy brothers have a legendary repuation here in Southampton!

He got disqualified for repeatedly trying to headbutt Darek. McCarthy was always an awkward customer, with some pretty slick moves, but he knew he was in over his head that night and was looking for a way out almost from the start.
