@matrixsenior I think it was more of a case at being pissed off than a coward.

That is when boxing meant something . After a fight like that to remember the children he visited in hospital is simply astonishing. What a real gentleman.

[matrixsenior]

Sykes turned away- you do not do this in boxing, sign of a coward

@bigmanoooo1

I reckon

I went to Gayhurst road school with John Gardner, he was tough then. I met him about 25 years later in Hackney. (John if you read this remember clever Trevor) he was a modest and very nice guy.

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

that's the differance between a boxer and a brawler,gardner picking him off at will.

@eltubster14 yea your right i was to harsh, i removed it. i liked him in the documentrie, he was a straight talker. good luck.

@irishgeal1 Give him a bit of credit, he'd had 8 fights man! Both men fought hard, one was too inexperienced. Sykes was hardly a clown mate.
