"The Bomber" Brian Strege prior to his pro debut fought a number of backyard matches across the country. Most notable of these was a knockout loss to "The Assassin" Kenny Foster.

A highly popular figure around internet circles, many felt he was "robbed" against David Dumas as promoter Stacy Goodson urged Strege to call it quits after round one. The rematch, though in high demand, never happened.

After his pro career last fight with Robbie Crawley, Strege continued fighting in arranged backyard matches. Some of these can be found on YouTube.

Talk:Bobby Gunn

2014-05-01T21:14:20Z

Homicidehenry:

Robert Gunn's true birth name is Robert Williamson. His lineage is of the "Terrible Williamson" family, whose patriarch Robert Logan Williamson (Peebles, Scotland) came to America in 1883. In 1885 he was married, and would have seven children. From these children came one of the most notorious crime families in American history.

It is alleged that the "Terrible Williamsons" were the originators of roofing and paving scams in America. Throughout the 1930's and early 1960's the family was under investigation from the Better Business Bureau, and they were forced to change their last names, and regions where they 'worked' were abandoned for places out West (Arizona, South California, Nevada) and in the Deep South (Texas, Florida).

The name 'Gunn' originates from one of Scotland's many Clans, and the Williamson family (among several other associated families such as Stewart, McFie, McMillan) was among the many under the Clan Gunn. Contrary to popular belief and opinion, it is well documented that the Williamson family, and associated/related families, are not gypsies or travellers.

According to the September 11th, 1955 issue of the San Bernardino Sun: "The Williamson's are strikingly similar to gypsy families: they have the same itch for travel, craze for fancy cars, morbid love of opulent funerals, and the same talent for larceny in their womenfolk. Yet the Williamson's despise gypsies, won't come within a mile of their camps."

Robert Williamson alias "Bobby Gunn", has used many aliases throughout his career and life. The proof of this is in the BoxRec database, when one cross references his many matches. For example, when he boxed James Rivas (Casa Grande, Arizona) he actually boxed under the name "Carlos Lopez". [http://casagrandepl.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewer.aspx?]

It is a practice most common with the Williamson family to change names often, and when one looks at the state of Arizona during Bobby Gunn's early career one will see numerous crimes being perpetrated by the "Terrible Williamsons", so it is assumed Gunn fought under aliases so to have no connection with his family members.

Robert Williamson, to this day, has not lost connection with the state of Arizona as he made his "bare knuckle boxing" debut against Rich Stewart (an alleged cousin) there. His son 'Bobby Gunn Jr' also made his semi-pro boxing debut there. Williamson plans to do more "bare knuckle boxing" ventures in the state under the Native American commission, rather than through the state. Williamson's "bare knuckle boxing" championship has been defended three times as of this writing, though 'opponents' Ganeal Goyco (Ernest Jackson) have stepped forward and admitted these were faked, pre-arranged bouts.

== '''Bobby Gunn vs. Jeff Holcomb''' ==

'''Headlining the card was WBE North American Cruiserweight Champion Bobby Gunn, who scored a fifth round stoppage over full-time policeman and professional fighter Jeff Holcomb of Ringgold, Georgia. They fought for the WBE World Cruiserweight and NABC America's Cruiserweight Titles. The main event was up in the air up for much of the day, as Holcomb failed to show up for the weigh-in and final presser earlier Thursday. He showed up at the arena forty-five minutes before the first bout took place. In retrospect, he would have been better served not showing up at all.

Gunn controlled the action from the opening bell, with Holcomb offering very little throughout the fight. Things got interesting in the second round, as Gunn was warned and eventually penalized for a questionable foul.

Moments later, Gunn landed a shot south of the border that had Holcomb on all fours, and eventually on a ring stool while taking full advantage of the entitled five minute break. Referee Alan Lovell ruled the infraction an intentional foul, thus deducting two points from Gunn's scorecard. Despite having easily won the first two frames, the fight was even after two as a result of the deduction.

After a listless round three featuring little more than Bobby Gunn forcing the action, Gunn unloaded in the fourth. Holcomb was pinned in Gunn's corner for the first half of the frame, covering up and not fighting back as Gunn drew blood from Holcomb's left eye, nose and mouth with a barrage of punches. Many in the crowd - including Gunn's father - protested for a stoppage as Holcomb took a major beating.

Lovell let the action continue, and Gunn took matters into his own hands. A sweeping left hook toward the end of the round decked Holcomb, who apparently threw out his back in crashing against the ropes and eventually to the canvas. He beat the count and survived the round, but was clearly in no condition to continue.

After a one-minute rest period and Tennessee Boxing and Racing commissioner Dan Kelly giving a thorough look, Holcomb was allowed out for the fifth. It didn't last long; Gunn put down Holcomb for good, thirty-seven seconds into the round. As Gunn celebrated in one corner, a bloodied and battered Holcomb laid stretched out on the canvas for several minutes before being escorted back to the dressing room.

With the win, Gunn improved to 13-1 (11KO) and picked up the WBE World Cruiserweight title in the process. It was his second fight in Nashville in less than four months, and promoter Joe McEwen plans to keep Gunn busy in Tennessee and Canada in the coming months. The 37-year old Holcomb falls to 9-4-1 (4KO) with the loss.'''

Bobby "The Celtic Warrior" Gunn is also currently the WBKBA Heavyweight Champion of The World, having kayoed mma veteran Rich Stewart in three rounds at the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation in 2011. This victory is important in the fact that it was the first sanctioned bare knuckle boxing match in 123 years. Gunn defended this title against Ganeal Goyco, who fought under the alias of Ernest Jackson in 2012. Gunn, being of traveller/gypsy heritage, reportedly competed in 60 bare knuckle bouts prior to Rich Stewart, having won all of them by knockout. The eleven year gap in his professional boxing record is when he took hiatus from the gloved world and did most of his bare knuckle fights.
