    Has anyone watched the Guv`nor (Lenny mcLean

    Just watching the guv`nor now on Netflix, has anyone else watched it, I remember watching some of his fights before, was he ever in an official sanctioned boxing fight? Or was it all unsanctioned fights, bare knuckle and anything goes fights he was in?

    Also what did ye think if ye watched it, ?
    And do you think he would of made a good (sanctioned)boxer ?

    Edit: nope he wasn't a sanctioned boxer, just an animal ha

    If he could have made it in the pro's, he would have. Why would he choose underground fights for little money if he could have been making stacks in the pros?

      Have you watched it?
      It's a good documentary, he moved on to become a professional unlicensed boxer, before that he beat roy shaw (2ce) who I think was a professional for awhile before being certified insane and sent to broadmore...

      Those unlicensed boxing fights were BRUTAL to say the least, and a lot like the old style fights...

      Great documentary anyway

        O and he was in prison for gbh and stuff,and was a bit mental, don't think he would have got a license anyway, but he was fighting for like the krays and all those gangster types (the same way Bronson did) so maybe their was more money in unlicensed boxing (at that time)..

        Sure 30 thousand people showed up for the 2nd or 3rd fight against shaw

          Haven't heard that name in a long time. I remember people would always make fantasy fights with him (McLean vs Tyson) on ESB

            I had to look him up cause I really didn't know who he was but from reading about him maybe that was just the life he enjoyed thus never going pro? Like I said, Idk him so Idk if he was any good or not but it's possible that he was so involved in that type of life that he just couldn't get away from it.

            I'm gonna have to look up this documentary up. Certainly sounds like an interesting dude. I don't have Netflix so I have to find another source. I'll see if Amazon Video has it.

            EDIT: Amazon is the **** but ****ers don't have it. Lame.

                If you believe it's a gay robot then why do you want to know?
