AHHHHHHHHH Victor McLaglen! Many might remember him as a boxer with a classic fight scene in the 'Quiet Man' but the old man actually had won an Oscar for an earlier role. Thus being the only man to win an oscar and also fight for the heavyweight championship of the world! But you know all that having read the book! I bet it was interesting.

Although thoroughly outclassed, McNeely didn't give up and showed incredible gameness in trying his best to win it.. He even managed to wobble Patterson a couple of times too.Comment

Great stuff!, cheers.. I had some idea the KD's were spread over a few rounds, although i only counted 9 clean one's with some stumbles and the odd touch down over the 4 rounds, but he did remain on his feet for the full 3 minutes of the 2nd..
