Yes Riohog Sibson was from my time i didnt know him personally but he fought a couple of my old muckers Mark Kaylor and Dennis Andries i liked his style Sibson he was all action i always felt he could of dropped a weight division but he could punch hard and fast and was a handful for anyone......i forget who it is now but i know theres a member on here who knows him .....last i heard he was living down Devon way somewhere.

Your right it was a strong era....the best of the Leicester lot in my opinion was Chris Pyatt but then im biased ....Herol Graham of course,Tom Collins,Errol Christe,Johnny Melfah all good fighters......a few not quite on that level you might not know who were out of my manor were Georgie Danahar who was from a big fighting family and good old Rod Douglas whos career ended tragically.......could of been a good fighter Rod,only amateur to ever beat Benn........oh and not forgetting Clive Davison who ended up running the Thomas a Beckett....scraping the barrel now Edited October 1, 2015 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

riohog 5,657 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 yes i remember criss pyatt ,i think he gobother and got banged up . .ive met sibbo a few times decent chap and hes done very well for himself . got out of it before he was punchy!! and invested well .im bloody sure i saw the sibson /minter fight in a local pub on the telle at the time , minter got a good hiding finished him , if i remember , but sibson met his match with haggler ,haggler gave him a right good hiding , and i think sibbo packed it in not long after ,, he always did struggle with his weight did sibbo he wasnt that skillfull as a boxer but a strong lad with a punch like a steam hammer happy days Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MIK 4,756 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 There are some exciting domestic middle weight fights could happen and some of them going up to super middle ...I think young Eubank teaming up with Booth will do him a power of good 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CushtyJook 1,097 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Apparantly even fury himself has plane tickets for Düsseldorf at time of the original date so a lot of them are going over and meeting other fans who have paid for that date for a drink over there 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,754 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) yokel A lot of folk,myself included put blame on Micky Duff for throwing Rod in at the deep end he wasnt ready for Graham.......as amateur fights go he had 2 absolute wars with Nigel Benn and this being back in the day when gym wars were common he had a couple of nasty spars with Eubank and one with Errol Christie and never took a backward step so being a 24/25 year old fully grown man was put in with Graham on the strength of that......but it just showed the difference between the ams and pros Rod was game to the bone and it nearly cost his life.
