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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 9,855 Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
