He might not be known by many but was really sad to hear about the death of Bobby Wells yesterday,Bobby was a good amateur back in the eighties i cant remember if it was a bronze or silver he won at the Los Angeles Olympics he lost to Francesco Damiani who went on to win a world title in the pros.....i sparred loads with Bobby as youngsters with a couple of other lads Dave Odwell who was one of the best amateurs i ever saw we all travelled around America together as young lads visiting different gyms Bobby was a good lad to be around i dont think he went far in the pros only had a handful of fights he was a few years older than me and havent heard from him in years then in random conversation with someone earlier found out he passed away yesterday,kind of shook me up a bit.....RIP.

Not someone I've heard of Gnash, but sorry to hear you've lost an old mate.

Thats back when amateur boxing was still real fighting but with vests on 

As i remember Bobby beat Gary Mason in the South East Divs just before getting wiped out by a young Lennox Lewis in an England v Canada tournament.

You being an older chap Jukel you might even remember Bobby's father Billy who medalled at the Mexico Olympics in 68 he boxed for Lynn and won at least 2 aba titles,we used to laugh about it as we both had fathers who were better fighters than us ....amateur boxing just seemed so much more competitive back then or maybe its just me reminiscing.

Funnily enough, was thinking the same thing, charts.

Just checked, no, they weren't related.

Daniel Dubois stayed down when he suffered a fractured eye socket.

Saunders was highly critical of Dubois saying" you would have to carry me out of the ring".

During Saunders' next fight he suffered the exact same injury. Guess what? He quit on his stool.

Hypocrite and sadist.

He's always come over as a bit of a prick to be honest, bullying type... just cause he runs dogs don't endear him to me...to be honest the dog game would be better off without the extra publicity and exposure he brings, him.actong the twat is plastered over the papers because of his public image, Joe public will think he's the norm
