Yesterday’s heroes: Greg Evans and time of demanding people and demanding rides
Published

By Miles Templeton
Greg Evans was a particularly colorful warrior from Liverpool in the seventies. Lively in 1976–1982, Greg won 10 and lost 10 with massive weight. The division was of course dominated by a colleague from Liverpudlian and WBC master, John Conteh, as well as Pat Thompson and Francis Hands also from the city and boxing of the same weight, Merseyside certainly contributed to massive weight at that time.
Greg was the champion of ABA ABA in 1976, which he achieved only 22 amateur competitions at the back. When he changed the professional in September 1976, he did it in a substantial concert at Empire Pool in Wembley. Joe Bugner destroyed Richard Dunn in one round at the summit of the bill, and Dave Boy Green, Jim Watt, Vernon Sollas and John L Gardner can also be seen, Greg had many investigations. You should surpass the experienced veteran Manchester, Terry Armstrong, over six rounds to start your professional career.
Greg has ever banned only one man with a loss of record throughout his entire career, far from the situation for future perspectives today. In his third duel he was surprised by Bob Pollard, losing in a tight eight round, but soon he showed a completely different approach when he blew up Warley Tough Man Brian Huckfield in one round at the Liverpool stadium, his first competition in his native city and, which is surprising for the five -foot novice In such a prestigious place, at the top of the bill.
He followed this with eight rounds of the decision about Roy Gumbs in Wembley, and Dave Boy Green lost his challenge in the title of the world in Carlos Palomino as the main star. What were the great cards in this era, with most of the huge ones that take place on Tuesday evening, [i].[i] Night to boxing in those days.
In November 1977, Evans was surprisingly beaten by Vernon Scott, and the loss was bad, a five -curing knockout. After defeating Harry White, the 11th assessed pretender, Greg was then chosen to fight Rab Affleck in the British eliminator of the title. I remember Raba as a banger well and he showed it very clearly in September 1978, when he undressed Evans, stopping him in just two minutes and nine seconds of the first round.
With three losses with only 10 matches and Evans hanging around the lower orders of the British top ten, it seemed to be at a crossroads. He did not meet expectations and needed a lot of win. Under the headline “Billy Blitzed”, Bn He informed exactly about this, the biggest win in his career just seven weeks later, when he took Billy Knight, one hell of a warrior, in less than three minutes. The report states that “for two minutes Knight easily poured Evans, showing his undoubted skills. Then Evans grabbed the knight with his left hook in his head and quickly followed his right to the jaw. Knight knocked down on canvas and could only float at six. “Then Evans ripped off in it, and judge Frank Parkes entered the knight with vitreous eyes and spinning.
Greg’s rollercoaster career then turned down to finish the year. After Harry White’s arrest in the return competition, he did not refrain from Roy Gumbs. Boxing for the first time in the style of Peek-a-Boo traded freely with Willlesden Fighter, with one and then the other, winning Acendoman, before Evans ran out of couple. He was finally detained in a defenseless state in the sixth state. Bad losses for Johnny Waldron and Tom Collins, in the central title of massive lightweight, were to occur, and things did not improve after his final victory in 1981 on Rupert Christie. Greg lost the last three, and then leaned after a miniature but very fun career, in which he mixed with challenging men while there were no straightforward rides.

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.
