gnasher16 31,602 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 On the same day Joe Frazier died a great old boy from East London by the name Jackie Bowers died aged 73......im sure many of the boxing fans on here will probably have heard of the Bowers family there name go,s back over 100 years in the sport ive known Tony and Martin from years back they started up The Peacock gym in Canning Town out of which many London boxers have come.......ok they might not be squeaky clean characters but have always been a very loyal family.... Jackie lost a close points decision to the Welsh World Champion Howard Winstone before becoming a trainer to the likes of Maurice Hope,John H Stracey etc.........thats 3 big losses this year for the fight game in London Gary Mason,Henry Cooper and now Jackie........
