I need some help. I am trying to fine out about Blaine Logsdon.
His division was Light Heavyweight.
Trying to fine any thing writing about him and photo as well.
Any great story about him!
What kind of a fighter was he?
Any one who was his friend? Or could tell me who was his manager?
What level of contender was he?
I very much appreciate all your help.

i remember watching a few of his fights.the guy was a journeyman fighter but with power.i can't remember everyone he fought but he did knock out slobodan kacar?when he was either IBF champ or had recently lost it,he also ko'd world class crawford ashley if i remember correctly after getting off the floor(i think logsden was down a couple of times), met most of the top british light heavies usually with little notice.he died very young.i'm sure if you type his name into the boxrec find a fighter you will be able to get manager info etc.

He was a tough no-nonsense fighter who was that bit short of top class, lost the ones that mattered. Like an earlier post said he was a well muscled fighter, and as best I recall he had a very prominent scar across his back (might have been his chest, but I think it was his back) that didn't look like it was a result of surgery in a hospital....certainly looked like the sort of guy you might not want to challenge in a pub or a club!

Met him a few times at boxing shows in the North west. Nice bloke to talk to and with a very powerful punch so won a few fights he probably wasn't meant to !. Unfortunately didn't have the best chin which probably stopped him getting any further than British title challenger. I missed going to see him fight Tony Wilson in Cardiff for the British Lt Heavy title but have never been able to find any footage of the fight. I think there was some dispute over filming as the fight was a late replacement for another bout. He was managed by Nat Basso the famous promoter/manager and fight MC. As mentioned sadly passed away some years ago at an early age.
