A man who brought Benny Lynch
Published

It has always been discussed who was the best of the two pre -war world champions in the fly weight: Jimmy Wilde or Benny Lynch? After two early losses as a teenager, Wilde lost only four times in his long career, and each of these failures was against a world -class fighter. He could hit the venomous strength and dominated the flyweight division for seven years. Lynch [pictured] The loser quite regularly in the very early years of his career in 1931–1933, but these defeats taught him a lot and until 1934 he was practically impossible to defeat. His career was harassed by the inability to conveniently attract weight and infamously by drinking. When in 1935 he defeated Jackie Brown for the title of world champion, he looked great, but his demons soon caught up with him, and his career became badly used, and one man, Jimmy Warnock from Belfast, clearly emphasized the shortcomings of the Scots.
Warnock comes from a fight family, because in the 1920s and 1930s there was a fighter cluster with Belfast, including Billy, Freddie and Dave, but Jimmy was by far the best. He began his career, fighting in countless places of Diminutive Hall, and then acting around the city, including in Rialto, Beresford club, Ring Street Thomas, and in the summer, in the open air in Grosvenor Park. In 1935 he became a Bill-Toper in Ulster Hall and Kings Hall, and a year ago the Ring magazine assessed him in the top ten of the world.
After destroying Brown, Lynch fought with three fights outside the titles in his hometown, winning them quite comfortably, and then went to Belfast to meet Warnock in what was another basic competition. The newborn Scot was “on the way”, allegedly earning money, defeating newborn ejaculation. In Kings Hall, in front of a crowd of 12,000 people, including the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland and most of his office, he received a great shock when Warnock withdrew him in a sensational fight. BN informed that “in the fighting Melees Warnock never had something to learn from Lynch, who said that the Irish star could have a high speed and body at a high speed, while ignoring the hit of the master. Lynch was equipped and thrown by a boy whose versatile equipment was better.” Whether Lynch’s problems with weight turned out to be a factor in this competition is unknown, but because the match was made with four pounds above the flying weight limit, it should not be the main factor. The fact is that Lynch was simply worse at night.
Two men met again the following year at Parkhead, the Glasgow Celtic Football Club house, in a match made for 4 ounces above the flying weight limit. Inevitably Lynch took two pounds of overweight and paid 150 pounds at that time, a huge amount of money. Even with this advantage, he could not master the newborn Irishman. About 20,000 people saw Warnock dominated the world champion at the full distance of the 15 round championships. After an early surprise, when Lynch dressed him during the first minute with pruning right -handing to such an extent, Warnock never looked back, and BN lamented: “Benny’s form was enraged that it was true. Where was the whole active attack in this competition!
Lynch’s story is very sorrowful and despite his splendor, when he was at its best, he ranks second in my book by Jimmy Wilde. As for Jimmy Warnock, his two victories over Lynch were the most vital event of his career. He beat some great fighters and earned a lot of money, but Peter Kane turned out to be his Nemesis. He won 74 of 101 competitions and retired in 1948. He was a great petite scenario.

Marco Antonio Barrera in MD 12 Erik Morales
November 27, 2004; MGM Grand, Las Vegas, NV
Mexican warriors Barrera and Morales ended their epic trilogy in a properly urgent style, creating another unforgettable war. Entering in the start, in the case of the Super Feather WBC Morales belt, the series stood with one winner per item. Morales won the initial meeting in Super-Bantam in 2000, and Barrera secured the creation of a rematch in 2002 in a featherweight-the decisions were questioned. Accordingly, the verdict in the rubber match also caused a debate. As in the previous two meetings, bitter enemies got involved in a furious fight, and the electrifying 11 round turned out to be particularly cruel. Ultimately, Barrera went to the top and adapted Morales’s achievement, becoming the three world letter.
Do you know? At that time, WBO Feather Highland Scott Harrison was interested in an observer in Ringside. He hoped to catch the winner.
Watch out for: In the middle of nine, the fighters are involved in the clinch, and Barrera is bursting morale at the back of the head with a legal apparatus. Uninvited by his opponent, Morales refuses to touch Barrera gloves when the judge was asked.

Felix Trinidad in RSF 12 Fernando Vargas
December 2, 2000; Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, NV
A lot was expected about the battle of unification of power between Trinidad and Vargas and, fortunately, did not disappoint. Trinidad, who defended his title WBA, jumped out of the blocks and twice started in the opener twice. Vargas returned a favor in the fourth round, sending Trinidad to a mat. Even worse for Felix, he was also deducted to a low blow. The same violation meant that the next point was taken from Trinidad in seventh place, before Vargas lost the point after a closer south of the border in 10. Constant violence with the view lasted to 12., in which the trio knocking up from Trinidad finally ended to a perfectly exhilarating competition.
Do you know? Former victim of Trinidad, Kevin Lueshing, called Boxing news Offices to discuss a brutal conclusion to fight. He said: “It caused a terrible memory of how he finished me.”
Watch out for: The complete HBO Pay-Per-View transmission is available to watch on YouTube. In Undercard he presents himself like Christa Martin, William Joppy and Ricardo Lopez.

This is the latest in the occasional series about the heavyweight champions of the world and their visits to Great Britain. In previous articles I wrote about Primo Carner and Langford himself, and this week I will look at Jacek Johnson and his British concert tour of 1908. Jackjohnson came to Great Britain on Monday, April 27 from the States, when the German steamer, Kronprinz Wilhelm, did in Plymouth. He was accompanied by his manager, Fitzpatrick himself, and two men immediately followed the train from Plymouth to the Paddington station in London, checked in at the Adelphi Hotel, and in the evening he visited the British Botker, in the field of eight circles, to see 20 rounds.
Johnson was in Great Britain to hunt Tommy Burns, also visiting London, to force him to defend the title, which, as we know, took place in Sydney eight months later. Two men exchanged words in Sporting Press and Burns, who stayed in Jacek’s Castle, in a pub in Hampstead, immediately published 1000 pounds from The Sporting Life, stating that if the Johnson camp was fitting to this amount, the fight was turned on. Fitzpatrick opposed the terms for which Burns insisted on the proposed match and refused to cover money. Johnson challenged the shooting moir, but it was rejected when Moir drew a color line and refused to meet the American.
Johnson spent the majority of this summer, appearing in various music rooms in Great Britain, boxing at exhibitions with a wide British heavyweight, including Jewey Smith, Jam Styles and Fred Drummond. In those days it was quite lucrative for the highest level boxers. Then he was tailored to Ben Taylor (Woolwich) to a 20-round competition in Plymouth. Jack trained on a fight at Regent’s Park and at the Junior High School at the National Sporting Club. He left the Waterloo station on July 30 to go to Plymouth for a fight, which was to take place the next day in Cosmopolitan Gymnasium, Mill Street. A vast contingent of fans welcomed him in the city of Devon, which at that time was the center of the fight of the great importance.
The competition, as you can expect, turned out to be one -sided when Johnson defeated Taylor with ease, raising him 11 times in front of a judge called Halt in the eighth round. After the duel, Johnson praised Taylor at his break, stating that he never met a player during his entire career. Later that night at the Mount Pleasant Hotel gathered at the Mount Pleasant Hotel, near the cosmopolitan, where Taylor founded his training camp, and Jack appeared to give Taylor again congratulations to Taylor for organizing such a good competition.
Johnson took part in a series of exhibitions in Dublin, and then in Bristol, where he participated in the Bristol City Vs Everton football match in Ashton Gate – his first experience in sport. Until September 7, he returned to London and announced that in October he was adapted to Box Mike Schreck at the National Sporting Club. On September 14, Schreck manager Jimmy Kelly was announced that the fight was not turned off because Schreck could not be relied to get to a decent condition for the fight.
Together with Burns in Australia, Johnson remained high and desiccated, without a significant fight, so the National Sports Club organized a competition against Sam Langford, which took place at the club on November 9. What would be a coup d’état – a match between the two best bulky scales in the world – but unfortunately this did not happen. On Monday, September 21, Johnson left the Charing Cross Station on the planned Łódź train at 13.20 to France to start a long journey to Australia, where he finally met and defeated Tommy Burns three months later.
