I remember sitting with my Grandad to watch the Minter/Hagler fight, he said it would be a cracker.... Now my Grandad had done a bit back in the day, Pro boxer between the wars, trained under Laddie Walker an American living in the city at that time. He also fought through the war, usually against friendly military champions, I have photos from the 40's of him sparing on deck. He fought in America, Brazil, Austrailia to name but a few. I met many of his old friends as a kid and all would mention his boxing, i've never doubted what he done... Proud man, as many who lived through that were... Bu
