BoxRec

Apologies, not exactly cutting edge, relevant discussion here, but quite an interesting thing if the following turns out to be the case.

Down at the bottom end of boxrec's European heavy ratings, (an unpleasant place to find yourself in) I discovered two Slovakian journeymen, both going by the name Szabo (a few of you will heard of them, as they have been fodder for relatively large names in Germany etc.)

One is 0-10 (40 yrs old), the other 0-15 (31yrs old)

I was going to ask whether they are brothers, although they have different manager's and hometowns given. So I then did a name search for Szabo to see if it was an extremely common eastern European sirname. So-so, but I found another Szobo - Marek, who is 0-11 at light welter, and has the same manager and hometown as the second Szobo.

Surely too much of a coincidence not to be related? Either way, if your sirname is Szabo, I advise you not to take up boxing. If you intend to win.

P.S. Just noticed, Vlado, the 2nd Szabo I mentioned, is nicknamed the "Slovak Rambo."

Double P.S. I've now just seen the 3rd Szabo, Marek, fought a 4th Szabo, Egon, but it was only an exhibition. That is absolutely fantastic

The only Szabo I remember, whose resume is like a whose who of European boxing. He was okay, a little better than his record suggest who scored a famous win on these shores.

Yes, if you are born Szabo it is probably best to buy a pair of running spikes than boxing gloves.

The only Szabo i have heard of is Violette...decorated world war 2 spy

Maybe Szabo means "Smith" and is your average Slovakian name

being rather pedantic, but the name is infact Hungarian (although the border has shifted a little bit over the years so you get hungarian-slovaks and slovakian-hungarians

You guys dont remember Gabi Szabo the cute 5000m runner from the late 90's??

That was my "joke" about athletic spikes, I follow athletics a bit

A bit too anaeroxic looking for my tastes, although she did scrub up better when off the track.

I spotted in the name search that there are a few (active) Hungarian Szabos too - in fact they are far more successful than the Slovak Szabos. Titusz is 1-9, winning his first fight last month, whilst (as you all know) Farenc 3-2-1 fights for the UBC Youth featherweight next month. He'll soon be on "Zap's" undercards at this rate.
