Anyone remember this fighter?
A Hearns-Lite if you like. But not as big a boxer or puncher so probably had even more wars.
Turned pro at 16 - with a loss - & was 12-4-2 at one point. Then something clicked & he went on a mad streak stopping the TV favourite Booby Czyz to pick up the IBF Light Heavy title & defended that 8 times (mainly on the road) before getting outboxed by Henry Maske in Germany (I was at Maske's debut fight on the undercard of a Kirkland Laing bout). By that time he had won 22 straight.
Excellent fighter to watch & was regularly shown on British TV back in the late 80's.
Wonder how he's doing now?
