In the case of a country with less than a million population, Guyana produced some known boxers. The best of them is the great Joe Walcott, and the former heavyweight champion, who took his name because he admired him so much, but the welterweight, who became a professional in 1890 and whom NatLeischer, the founder of the Ring magazine, assessed as the best in history. Dennis Andries, Wayne Braithwaite, Howard Eastman and Adrian Dodson are others with Guyanana’s heritage and everyone could fight a little.

The Tanner brothers were the first of the country to influence these banks and it was the oldest, Richie “Kid” Tanner, which was the most successful. He arrived in 1938, after a professional boxing for just two years, and when he finished his career, in 1950 he won 104 of his 175 competitions.

The kid debuted in the UK at the Liverpool stadium against one of the best flies in Great Britain then, tut Whalley, and amazed a vast crowd, easily winning. In his third British fight he left on Benny Lynch-Piotra Kane’s card at Anfield’s football and he won again without confusion. In 1940, against Jackie Paterson, the great Glaswegian, who was then the champion of Great Britain and who won the World Flyweight title in 1946. Boxing called Commonwealth, Paterson and Tanner staged a great show with Scot Southpaw, presenting substantial problems for Tanner, and therefore lost his decision after 15 rounds.

During the war, Tanner served as a shooter in royal artillery and continued boxing at the highest level, appearing regularly on a few programs, many of which supported war efforts.

His younger brother, Allan, became a professional in 1949, just a year before getting a child. Allan died in 2001 and this great former pro, Ricky Porter from Swindon, paid him tribute in the Elderly Timers column by Ron Olver. Unfortunately, in addition to reports about his competitions, it seems that this is the only time when Allana’s career as a whole has been commented on BnAnd thanks to Ricky, his memory was preserved on these pages: “Allan gathered a total of about 100 duels, boxing in different parts of the world, including the fight with Sandy Saddler in 1948, just six months after Sandy won the title of the world fertile scale. Allan was still a teenager. “

While he is vigorous in Great Britain, in 1949–1955, Allan won 38 out of 67 competitions. Like his older brother, he started at the Liverpool stadium. He won his first six, culminating with one round of Nokaut Jim Findlay, the warrior himself. Allan managed the house and Tony Vairo, both were twin from earlier time, as well as vast players in the game in Liverpool and the surrounding area. The couple also managed Johnny Hazel and Ivor Germain, respectively from Jamaica and Barbados.

Vairos has always eagerly helped many boys of the community of nations, and then came in vast numbers to the box in Great Britain. Allan defeated several great warriors, including Jimmy Toweel, Laurie Bxton, Ellis Ask, Tony Lombard, and in 1951 Tommy McGovern, who became the British champion of delicate in the same year. Bn He informed that “Allan Tanner knew too much about working in Tommy McGovern’s inside and gave Bermondsey Boy a sporadic beating around the body that slowed him down and paved the way to the victory of decisive points after eight rounds. McGovern was packed from the pillar to fasting during the last session. “

Ricky Porter announced that after the end of his boxing career Allan became a coach who, like Porter himself, also trained Des Rea, Victor Paul and Najeen Adigun. Let’s leave Ricky to pay the final tribute: “He was a great gentleman and it was an honor to meet him.”

With closely trimmed hair and staring from the hood and eyebrows, the warrior hits the time-honored pose. Poker face reveals the burning faith and warrior. This is Jam Carney from Birmingham, a 5 -foot Fury package, which appeared in one of the most brutal, bloody and controversial battles in the history of Ring History.

Instead of what happened that November night in the incompatible Revere, Massachusetts, Barn – a team playing to mask an illegal congregation – went to fight.

With the American champion Jacek Mcauliffe, exhausted and battered almost senseless almost, his restless supporters stormed the ring.

Fearful of riots and the arrival of law enforcement officers, the judge decided to diplomate and announce a draw. At 4 am November 16, 1887, West Midlands Terrier Carney became the recipient of the first enormous attack on transatlantic boxing.

Carney, now almost completely forgotten, was not a particularly nice person. It is unlikely that he landed in Panto. He had a white temperament, he was a fearing street fighter and mastered every filthy trick in the book.

Carney was a product of his surroundings. As a child, he fought hunger. Michael and Mary’s parents brought their offspring to Birmingham when potato hunger reflected.

As a needy hedgehog, Carney fought prejudices against those who did not have the impression of a flood of immigrants from Ireland. As an athlete, he fought pain near endurance. From the draw of July 1880 with George “Punch” Callow-Konkursu in the fresh air, which took place in the conditions of Quagmire-One Sports Screb wrote: “It became an indecent battle fighting for the limbs of human durability and endurance.” Like what appeared in eight years, it was reported that it lasted 74 rounds. The rounds were different then, of course, their times are not as strict as today. Still, he was still unthinkable to fight. I eat most of this marathon with a broken hand.

As a boxer, Carney tried a tragedy. In a forest container in Młyński mills, Sutton Coldfield, October 7, 1881, ruthlessly hit Jimmy Highland’s midriff. With a broken chest, the brave Jimmy could, in the 43rd round, not fight anymore. He died of internal injuries three days later, and Carney was accused of murder.

As a boxer, he faced prison. He was acquitted of the allegation, but served six months for participating in the fight for prizes.

At that time, society did not prohibit sport due to risk to participants. It was corruption, theft and public disorder that went manually with matches that MPS had a problem.

The hardships prepared Carney for Bloodbath against Mcauliffe, a man perceived as a radiant future of the game: he used the study and work of his legs, not wild.

Carney, mean as a broke dog, sailed to the States to embarrass the golden boy to meet him.

He made American fans get up and noticed, heading to Jimmy Mitchell, an American master who boasted that he had never been dropped.

On the barge 30 miles up the river from Long Island, June 18, 1887, I sent it many times. With Mitchell, he called Surrender four times in the 11th round. Carney received $ 2,000 for a victory in a fight called the fight for the title of Master in some record books.

According to the evening newsletter, fans were present “the biggest fight she has ever seen in this country.”

The American audience wanted Mcauliffe to put Birmingham in his place. It was the dawn of the era of gloves, but only. In front of the chosen audience in a secret location, gladiators wore tight gloves, which were stated that they only weigh three ounces.

This audience was almost a witness to the early, clear victory of McaUliffe they wanted. Carney was dropped three times in the first laughter, a mocking opponent. A dancing figure frustrated before him, I eaten from McaUliffe standing and fighting. “I will give you enough” – he mocked his torturer.

Gradually, Carney’s arrows have affected the harvest. The newborn Upstart slowed down, his meters were no longer piercing. The smile left his face.

In the case of Carney there were still crises to overcome. According to Somerset, Herald to Somerset, Massachusetts-he recognized “terrible right-handed to the back of the nose, which divided the open organ.” It did not bother eating – he spent his whole life, trying his own blood.

Mcauliffe was dropped on the 15th and from now on both of them developed each other.

The fight was now in the trenches and I eat in the trench war.

“Carney”, wrote St Paul Daily Globe, “is undoubtedly one of the worst fighters in the world. Several times his seconds and the judge had his hands full to prevent losing foul, kicking or hitting an opponent who after the 20th round tried to win a foul. “

The American pretended to be a low blow, and then tried to throw his opponent to bite. Carney just smiled, flashed with a bloody smile and explained to the judge that he had lost his teeth earlier.

In the 45th round of Mcauliffe was close – but he fought against the opponent whose left eye was closed.

“62. The round was marked by wonderful exchanges, “said Herald. “They both fought like demons and took a punishment like iron people.”

McaUliffe fans attacked the ring for the first time in this round, and Carney was at the head of the fight in the close, pushing them back.

“In 71, 72 and 73th place”, wrote Globe, “It was a basic case of” Win, Wangle or Tie “on the part of the McAULiffe party. Mcauliffe was a brave man and wanted his friends to give up for him, because Carney knocked him down many times and raced around the ring. “

The widely wounded boxer was finally saved during the 74th session, and another invasion completely destroys the ring. The owner of the barn, abandoned from the building, would be set on fire if Carney won, demanded an end. The judge, with a full fight on his arms, happily agreed.

Carney, who died in London on September 11, 1941 at the age of 84, risked his life and limb for nothing.

After McaUliffe, he had only one competitive fight, losing a foul for throwing his opponent to the floor.

In January 1889, it was reported that he retired and opened a pub in Cardiff. Do not make a mistake when Carney shouted time in the bar, the players finished the drinks.

One thing that boxes have many characters. Promoters, trainers and managers are often greater than life, and boxers often more. One of such characters was Eddie McGorta from Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Eddie would fight anyone, wherever he wondered all over the world. Australians even recognized him as a world -high -medium world champion.

I chose him to this column because of his intriguing record against British warriors, both here as in the United States, and because of the caliber of men he fought in a 20-year career, which ended in 1922.

His most renowned opponent is undoubtedly the great Harry Greb. They both clashed in 1918, and McGoorta came out at the wrong end of the 10-round decision. It seems that Greb has currently acquired a almost mythical status among boxing fans, many of which are teenage contextual. At a time when there is little respect of great boxers from the past, it seems that Greb has exceeded this prejudice, and many called him the greatest boxer he has ever lived. This cannot be proved, because there is no recording of a great man in the ring, which I think is extraordinary.

The McGorty was first crossed by the Atlantic in 1909, when he defeated Nutty Curran in 20-Rundy in Dublin. He stayed in Ireland for four months, winning four out of five competitions. His only loss was against Tom Lancaster with Spennyneoor, a real difficult nut, who won the Medium Pitmen weight championship in 1909 under 10^th Winning in the round over Tom Stokes with Mexborough. Stokes was thrown into a butting, but it didn’t bother Lancaster, who was as difficult as it happened. The victory over McORTY was undoubtedly the best victory for Tom in the 56-host career with just nine losses.

McGorta noted three more wins in England, and then, in 1912, to be flattened by Jacek Harrison, a master of British medium weight, in one round in Madison Square Garden.

In 1918, McGorta represented the United States in the victory tournament, which took place at Royal Albert Hall. This event took place to celebrate the allied victory in the First World War, and people from the entire community and the United States, including Harry Greb, took part. McGorty lost to the final winner of Bombardier Billy Wells, in the heavyweight semi -final.

In 1919 and 1920, McGorta met most of our leading weights and featherlight many times in Great Britain. Among those he defeated were Tom Gummer, Harry Reeve and Bandsman Rice. Then he was adapted to the fight with Joe Beckett, the British heavyweight champion in the 20-round competition at Olympia. About a week before the McGorta competition, he was to be “drunk and unable” at Tottenham Court Road, behind which he was fined in 10 shillings at Bow Street Magistrates Court. Realizing that he upset the promoter, Charles B cochran, and that his behavior could have been affected by the interest of the competition, McGorta tried to fix the press: “I had to be a victim of a wave of heat. I knew I wasn’t drunk. I pleaded guilty in court because I wanted to escape from the advertisement, but I was unlucky. Not concerned, Mr. Cochran, I will be able to fight the fight of my life against Beckett. “

McGorta took a decent performance against Beckett, falling in the 17th round of a ponderous duel. Among the many other great fighters with whom McGorty he laughed in his career, which began in 1902, were George Chip, fighting Levinsky, Mike Gibbons, Les Darcy, Jeff Smith, Frank Klaus and Jack Dillon. His last fight in Great Britain took place at Windsor Conservative Club from all places when he detained Jacek Stanley in three rounds.

He died in 1929, at the age of 40, due to throat ailments. He was a difficult -living, difficult -fighting scrap of Irish origin, which is so rarely seen in American rings.
