John L. Gardner vs Paul Sykes - Part 2

[MultiPlayaaa]

@bigcherry99 if he wasnt on the drink 24/7 and done what hes boxing coach told him he would of been the champ

[bigcherry99]

@MultiPlayaaa you're absolutely right

[MultiPlayaaa]

@bigcherry99 got nowt to do with age whats 6 years? get ya head checked out

[bigcherry99]

@MultiPlayaaa athletic peak is 27....sykes was 7 years past his prime...

.

sykes also had a drinking problem, and spent his best years in prison

.

with a level playing field, sykes would have DESTROYED garnder

[bigcherry99]

what everybody is forgetting is that paul sykes was 34 in this fight, gardner was 27

.

if they were the same age, sykes would have destroyed him

[eltubster14]

Good battle, but Sykes had 8 fights compared to Gardeners 30. I think that made the difference.

[cdwordsworth26]

such bad tactics for sykes, way too fast a pace, started by constantly throwing those jabs, dont know who schooled him.

@cdwordsworth26 well sykes never had an amateur fight he was a street fighter

[doddlesock]

sykes had a marvelous uppercut,gladstone small used to get paul to punch him every sunday morning to stretch his neck and put his tie on for church
