Boxing has the habit of throwing very compelling characters, and Peter Cheevers is one of them. Peter is one of many boxers, mainly in London, who enjoyed a decent career as an actor after the end of the ring career. Peter also appeared as a stuntman from time to time, including for Paul McCartney.
Born in 1942, Cheevers was only 18 years aged when he won the ABA championship in a featherweight in 1961. He was a protégé Dave Charnley, at that time the prevailing British champion, empire and European champion of lightweight.
Just 10 days before Juvenile Peter won his amateur title, Dave won full 15 for a world airy title against “Elderly Bones” by Joe Brown. Peter changed the professional later, in a airy importance, and his first competition took place at Empire Pool, Wembley, on the undercard of the two -bay defeat of Henry Cooper at Zor Folley’s hands. Cheevers Kayoed Pat Loughran in one round with the right hook peach.
He was elated to enjoy his career, winning his first six. In September 1962, he returned to Empire Pool for an eight -liter competition with Peter Heath of Coventry. That night at the top of that night there was Terry Downes against the “past” Sugar Ray Robinson. How favorable it was, you can see the enthusiasm show, which gives in the advertising photo made with a adolescent Peter before the show. Robinson was always the most kind, and the youth appeared on the card on three accounts in which he fought in Great Britain in the early sixties. This experience will mean a lot for a adolescent boy, but he did not aid him in his competition, for Heath, an experienced professional, he knew too much about Piotr and went outside, even though he was in two cases in the second round. In the program of notes to this competition, he stated that Cheevers was a future British champion.
I recently changed managers, from Jim Wicks to Bert McCarthy, this failure was a failure, and when he returned to the ring six weeks later, he softened over the fourth round over another sugar ray, this time Nigerian with the name Johnson.
In 1963 he was nervous again, this time Brian Jones from Nottingham, who detained him in the seven in Shoreditch Town Hall. Again, the winner was an older and more experienced professional and again Peter had an early man in trouble. Bn informed that “Jones, always complex to hit with a good blow, was double complex to catch with the left hook, which is the main weapon attacking Cheevers. Peter, much higher, always walked forward, throwing blows, but few landed on the goal. However Rescue, when the sixth parted to go the first time on the fourth side on the fourth page on the fourth page on the fourth page on the fourth page on the fourth page on the fourth time on the start time.
In seventh place there was a rotation of the cheeks to be dressed twice before Pat Floyd stopped the fight.
Peter fought for the next 18 months, and after an invincible run 10 competitions lost his last fight with Joe Tetteh from Ghana, a really good warrior. Peter lost only three of 22 competitions, but he never realized his true potential. A year after retiring from the ring, he stood together with Paul McCartney in the film, acting as his stuntman. Piotr was a handsome child and it is uncomplicated to see how he could be a convincing position for the renowned Beatle. He also appeared in Mordder, the bill and a handful of films, as well as complex stage works, including Shakespeare. Now Peter has a lot to do for the 80th year. He led a life full of impressions.

Blackheath-Urocza, a wealthy, relatively deciduous part of the south-eastern London-does not have obvious boxing ties. From sport, he is best known as a starting point in the London marathon and for the apartment of the world’s oldest open rugby club. But return 60 to 90 years, and the surrounding area had a prosperous boxing gym, popular among the best characters of this sport.
The green man was a pub on Blackheath Hill with boxeria above him. He shot in importance as a boxing plant in 1937, when two world warriors, Great Britain Tommy Farr And America Petey Sarron decided to train there. The British weighty title Farr was preparing for Showdown on April 15 with Max Baer, who would ultimately lead him to a heavyweight title defining the career with Joe Louis four months later. The prevailing champion of the world featherweight, Sarron, was preparing to fight with the same Survivist-first in this country-a former British Lightweight King Harry Mizler.
At the beginning of April Boxing news The columnist “The Watcher” visited Green Man Gym, and then using the boxing manager Walter Daya and the seriously striking seafarer Jim Lawlor to see Train Farr and Sarron. The banner above the door proclaiming “Tommy Farr and Petey Sarron Tround here” told him that he was in the right place. However, he arrived too overdue to see how the warriors were working and said that Farr was changing after his session.
“Tommy welcomed me warmly when I regretted that I was too overdue. Jim Lawlor was at hand and he welcomed me a lot, invited me to a cup of tea, and I was very worried about showing me. The wardrobe was equipped with a shower bath, rubbing the table and everything. Large windows overlooked Blackheath and said that here was the perfect place to prepare here. to the competition, because such a wonderful open space – and it could be high – and it could be up – and it could be up.
“Tommy finished the dressing, and then I was taken over to junior high school. A full -size and properly staged ring was erected in a roomy and well -lit room, while ordinary amenities necessary for training had a desire for training. The place was vast enough to issue the program, and Lawlor told me that they introduced several amateur shows.
“The presence of Tommy Farr and Petey Sarron will undoubtedly bring them a lot of publicity and recommendations, because in addition to the fact that the British champion was very enthusiastically focused on it, later I learned from Jimmy Erwin, the world champion manager that he was looking at all training exercises in the south of England, not finding a place that suited him better.”
In 1939, Jock McAVoy trained at Green Man-Swoim with his first training in London-his last fight with Len Harvey’s rival, in a program that set a attendance record in Great Britain over 90,000. Seventeen years later the Green Man’s gym was still busy when Dick Richardson prepared for his clash of December 1956 Nino Valdes.
In the 1960s, the pub became a popular place of music where Paul Simon, Manfred Mann, Tubby Hayes and Ronnie Scott performed. In 1963, 16-year-old David Bowie played there with his first professional band The Konrads. At this memorable concert of Bowie, until then, the saxophonist entered as the main singer, when the band’s frontman cut his foot on a broken glass in the cloakroom in a pub. Then Bowie took the position of the singer. Unfortunately, for sentimental fans of boxing or music, in 1970 a green man was demolished. Today, there is an indefinite block of flats in its place.

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.
