RIP And then get hundreds of chairs chucked at him. Edit; my memory is playing tricks- it was bottles and cans, the upturned chairs I remember where the ringside media and officials using them to protect their heads from the idiots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42064 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I was 12 when he fought Hagler, I watched it at my uncles. He was a huge boxing fan, and I recall him saying Hagler would massacre him beforehand, which me and my cousin were having none of Shameful night what happened afterwards, but clinical from Hagler. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17079 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) If you read Minters book he says after being in the ring with the elite of his generation the hardest punch he ever took was thrown by a Royal Marine from Poole when they were both amateurs https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/283555 Leo Toms is my mates dad, also Leo. Senior ended up in charge of boxing for all of the Royal Navy and runs Poole ABC, was still good mates with Minter. Junior boxed for England schoolboys, got twatted by a welsh lad and didn’t go back. He then joined the marines, where on the first day of basic training he had various senior NCOs turning up to the parade ground shouting “WHICH ONES FAACKIN LEOS BOY???!!!” who then physically assaulted him in front of his new comrades. He didn’t go back. Edited September 11, 2020 by PaddockLad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was stoked by Minter with his comments that no black man was going to take his title iirc. Not much to suggest he was s big racist, I guess those comments were a product of their time / some I’ll advised ‘promotion’. It was a proper world title back then in a very tough division. Even European titles were hard to come by 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
