socks 32,253 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Gnasher is your son in law in the army involved with boxing on a battalion level ? He,s not Socks no........think my daughter tried to steer clear of my sort ...........cracking lad though so doesnt matter. I was just thinking that it would be brilliant for the young boxers to have somebody with your contacts involved with them ... A lot of talent goes to waste in battalions because nobody sees the potential ......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_stig 6,614 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) might have been british,commonwelth and euro at some stage --i saw him fight laing.. He fought Honeyghan for the European must of been 84 or 85.... in training for it they often turned up at the same gym Bobby Neil would often phone over to make sure the coast was clear ........Mittee was such a laid back sort of chap yet Honeyghan was the complete opposite he could start a fight in an empty room. gnash was kaylor out of that gym ? i think it was on the bruno bugner undercard i saw christie kaylor --- was the hatred geniune or a ticket seller ..

Oh it was real alright......Mark would probably get beheaded for it in todays times he referred to his skin colour which started it all off.........their fight was a few years before Bruno - Bugner though ive got an idea Kaylor might of been on the undercard.........................Kaylor - Christie was at Wembley Arena,.....no Kaylor never went to Repton he started at the army cadets believe it or not then went to Shell and onto Fitzroy Lodge if i remember right.

ginga john 268 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Interesting ,did you spar with them both then? I did indeed......and a few others Funso Banjo,Trevor Curry......and the one who hit harder than all of them was Horace Notice but he wasnt quite big enough......Horace was like a smaller version of Bruno if he,d had a bit more size to him he,d of been a top fighter in my opinion......Bruno and Mason with the big 12 ounce gloves on even if you blocked the punch they could still get you over.......it was a strong gym back then Andries,Kaylor,Watt,Pyatt,Magri,Jimmy Batten,Honeyghan,Laing when he felt like it ! Kirkland Laing ! that fella could have been up there with the best for a long time if he was a "little less social" and I always liked Chris Pyatt, a real nice fella and a good fighter too met Honeygan once as well and thought he was bloody awful, he needed a body three times the size to hold his head up but he could move and had very fast hands And Horace was and is a real gentleman, I still see him now and then and he's a plasterer now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
