Rare footage of Roberto Duran sparring.
Watch timing and defensive movements, you can see why Duran was different.

Some utter scum bag has ripped the arm of the Bradley Stone statue outside the Peacock Gym. Utter disrespect 😡

World Heavyweight Champion Sonny Liston visits the training camp of British heavyweight Billy Walker, on September 4, 1963, at the Blue House Farm in Pitsea, Essex, UK.
Walker, 9-1-1, will be facing Johnny Prescott (22-2-2) on the 10th at the Empire Pool.
The"Golden Boy" will score a 10th round TKO win but will drop a decision to Prescott two months later at the same venue.

More sad news. RIP Jimmy Batten. I knew he hadn’t been well for a while but still terrible news, aged just 70. A GENUINE British boxing legend ❤️🥊

The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre was the sixth and final fight between Sugar Ray Robinson and The Raging Bull Jake LaMotta. It was a BRUTAL one! 🤯
Sugar Ray won by 13th round TKO 🥊

Teddy Baldock Statue Update:
Unfortunately no arrests have been made and the statue has not been recovered.
A meeting with Loss Adjusters tomorrow will determine whether the cost of a replacement will be covered by insurance.
The Foundry responsible for the Sir Henry Cooper Statue in South London have agreed to cast the replacement Statue. But since the moulds cannot be located this will now involve 3D scanning of a miniature which will be upscaled, 3D Printed and a mould produced for recasting in bronze.
The boxing boots from the original will be recycled.
Hopefully the Pride of Poplar will soon be back where he belongs.
Thank you all for your continued support.

Last night scum stole the statue of my Grandfather Teddy Baldock Britain's youngest ever World Boxing Champion. The statue was unveiled outside the Langdon Park DLR Station in Poplar, East London. Years of work and a stunning work of art by the sculptor, the late Carl Payne will be sold for scrap and melted down. Please retweet in case we can recover it.
