British unlicensed boxing of the 70's I have been trawling the net looking for information on British boxers from the 70's and I came across these guys..
Lenny McClean v Roy Shaw..reputedly 2 of the worlds toughest street fighters and bareknuckle boxers...I don't know how much you guys know about these two hardmen,but they appear to be truly fucked up individuals with tempers to match...Thoughts!!
YouTube - Lenny Mclean vs Roy Shaw
Re: British unlicensed boxing of the 70's i once met lenny mcclean in a pub in putney years ago when i was a kid... my old man used to drink in the boozer (alot i might add haha) and lenny mcclean was there. my old man knew a couple of his buddies and got introduced to lenny and he introduced me i must've been about 12 maybe 13.... and all i can remember is his deep voice and very broad london accent and when i shook his hands they were just rediculously huge... i can understand now when i see the videos just what sort of damge those hands would've done..... hes a typical old school london geezer... he was so fucking hard even his nightares were scared of him.... haha... hes in lock stock and two smoking barrells (film) as well.....
what you think of him rubio?

Re: British unlicensed boxing of the 70's Kozie i'm fascinated by the REAL hardmen...not that the top boxers or martial artists don't have the intrigue,but these guys are truly fucking Nuts...
I like the likes of McClean and Shaw,they had no facades...what you saw is what you Got...You would have to be Crazy to cross them!!
Re: British unlicensed boxing of the 70's Roy Shaws book is awesome he was a dangerous dangerous man. The guy followed his own rules and even the Krays knew to keep there distance when it came to him. Its beleived that Roy coulda been MW champion if he wasn't so nuts back in the day, he was as hard as they came. I want to read Lennys book but from what ive heard he was a poor mans Roy Shaw. Shaw didn't even train for the one he lost and was on crazy drugs that slowed him down and calmed him going into it.
Rubio, try and get hold of shaws book, "pretty boy".
Re: British unlicensed boxing of the 70's I will do that Tommy for sure!!!
Ive been looking up some of his fights aswell....not much style...but very effective
Re: British unlicensed boxing of the 70's look up jimmy stockin's book as well. he was known as king of the bareknuckle boxing ring.... he was an animal. he was a roman gypsy (pikey) and no one fukked with him.
