  • Epic Mickey Walker biography

    Here's part 1 of a piece I wrote on Mickey Walker for Queensberry-Rules.com. Apologies if this is viewed as spam, but I thought some of the history junkies might dig it:

    http://queensberry-rules.com/2012-ar...er-part-i.html

    I realize he has a book and that his life has/had been covered extensively, but I compiled this based mostly on newspaper articles written by people actually covering the fights, and I tried to avoid memoirs and biographies as much as I could.

    Thanks for reading.

      very good

      what a quality piece of work this sure is mate and it is by chance a topic that I have been working on in recent weeks. When i have it completed it will be sent out as one of my newsletters etc and following this it would be good to combine them into a document for my biographies site.

      If we can share our source material that would be interesting, so tell me what you think

      cheers

          Much of the source material I either quoted or referenced, but I do have some stuff I'd be happy to share.

                  Not sure if anyone is interested, and sorry to keep plugging myself here, but I've also been doing some stuff on Facebook and Twitter that some history heads may like:

                  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Boxing...98544626871736

                  and

                  https://twitter.com/#!/BoxingHistory

                  Basically I update with fights that happened on "this day in history" or whatever, but I also try to post either fight links or screenshots of the post-fight reports if possible.

                  But either way, thanks guys. Not sure what I'm working on next, but I'll post it here if that's cool.
