    Hi Folks,

    could anyone tell me what is an "instant friend message"? It was something like that and I pressed the wrong button and it disappeared. That's ONE thing. The other is below. I'm trying to find any definite information on the subject.

    I wrote to the guy "KERMINATOR, his little item was in 2005, but since he didn't answer, I assume that he's long left the website. Some boxing enthusiast may know.

    Thank you in advance.


    TOMMY BURNS

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    KERMINATOR- I don't know if you're still around, and, hoping that you are. I'm sending you sthis message, If you get it, and can reply, just send me a quiick note of receipt, with your letter following. Since you'll need to take a little time to think about my question.

    I just came across an article or letter headed "Tommy Burns which you wrote in 2005 and sent in to Boxingscene, where I'm reading it now.

    I happen to be interested in a particular facet of Burns' career. the web page entry on the computer screen, says- "Burns had 2 sparring partners"...... well it's these sparring paertners and any others he had, that I'm interested to find out. I'm told that one of them was named Klondyke, but is identified with John (Klondyke) Haynes. The other is Billy Woods.

    I'm interested in the sparring partners he took to Ireland with him for his Jem Roche fight. Because he left one of them behind when he fell ill. And that man remained there the rest of his life, until at least the late 1940's. He must have been the only black man in the country.

    Would you know who it might have been or anything which might lead to finding out?

    Sincerely,

              I don't think this is true. Hopkins said something about this at the London press conference. I'll try to find the video on Youtube.
