Has The Fury fought yet? It’s this month, right? If not, best of luck… when is it? If so, what happened??? ---

[QUOTE=Mr Punch;877516]Hey Chris, since you’re online… Has the Fury fought yet? If not… best of luck: when is it? If so, what happened?! :)[/QUOTE] I don’t think we’re gonna find out, man. And I love boxing. Currently reading about a guy called Sam Langford who was from Weymouth Falls, Nova Scotia. Was never given a title shot because guys were scared of him…lots of people also pulled the ‘colour card’ on him too. Anywho…would love to see how he did. Looked crisp in the workout vids on youtube. ---

Could talk a bit more about the history of it all…but unfortunately…it would probably turn into a racial thing on the internet. (Not between you and me of course!) It’s quite amazing how the African Americans fled to Canada through underground railways and through working with the British Colonial army, etc. Thanks for the links and vid. Now that’s some ol’ school boxing!
