The Chlamydia Kid Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Absolutely gutting man. I fought on a few shows alongside him in the past. Hope folk that have never stepped in a ring remember the risks folk take the next time they call a fighter a "shitebag", "coward" etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Desperately sad, that it has been said he was suffering headaches prior to it, yet must have felt extreme pressure into fighting on the night? #RIPMikeTowell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco30 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Such a sad loss of life for a good up and coming Scottish fighter , heart goes out to his family will be a tough time for them right now. Great post from TCK I've been pretty vocal about canelo ducking ggg but as he said fighters put it all on the line when they step in the ring.

The Chlamydia Kid Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 BTW I wasn't making that point to make out that people who haven't stepped in a ring know any less of have less right to have their opinions listened to. I dont think because someone has boxed it makes them an expert or more knowledgable. However, I do think unless you've done it you can't understand the bottle and courage it takes to go in against one other person in front of a crowd. It's not fear of getting hurt it is fear of losing face and looking like a dick in public if you get beat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Whilst he had a pretty intimidating look, there was a reason behind his appearance. Perhaps a better way to be remembered, than for how he passed on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Watched fight live and knew it didn't look good. I actually thought he didn't quite make the count at the last knockdown, or at the least the referee certainly gave him the benefit of the doubt allowing him to continue. Definitely did the right thing stopping it a couple punches later. The damage was already done. Really feel for Dale Evans too. He'll be devastated as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be easy for him to continue boxing after this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
