5 months later bobby wells won a bronze medal at the olympics along with lennox lewis. he lost in the semi finals against francesco damiano of italy who went on to win a world professional heavyweight title. wells was aba champion. egan was 17 not 18 and having his first senior fight. i boxed on the same irish team and all the team agreed joe had a heart of a lion. you can improve skills but not get heart unless you are in the wizard of oz or the land of idiots like dirtbagjohnny the mug coward.
@dirtballjohnny its an international with 2 club standard boxers,truely woeful standard of fundamental skills.Being able to take a punch doesnt make you a good boxer,there are knackers all over ireland that can do that but cant box at all.
@scarred10 No it's not Club standard. It's an international bout. He mightn't have been the most gracefull or skillfull of boxers but he had more heart than the likes of David Haye or Audley Harrison. Both Tyson and Lennox Lewis said he was the hardest Sparring partner they ever trained with and neither could put him down. Forgive me if I value their opinion more than yours.

@1who2what3where4when Agreed, but Tyson used to spar with Joe and could never knock him down. He's more of a brawler and street fighter than a boxer.
