Barry McGuigan was known as an aggressive, technical yet brutal fighter, the amount of KO's speak for themselves. His fists were an axe that chopped at the body.

In his second ever fight, he was on the receiving end of a highly controversial decision loss vs Peter Eubanks (Chris Eubanks brother)
From there he went on to run through all opposition, being denied a chance at world titles.

At the end of his career in his last 4 or so fights he received his only other 2 losses, which many put down to just being too past prime.

Such was the brutality of McGuigan's shots, that he put an opponent in a coma who later would die from it. This shook McGuigan, having almost stepped away from the sport completely, but he came back.

The story of Billy Ray Collins Jr.
Billy was an undefeated pro who was touted for great things, having amassed a 14-0 record with 11 finished before this fight.

His opponent removed all the foam from his gloves and replaced it with caste, essentially throwing concrete with every punch.

He died shortly after this fight aged just 22

Steve Collins - Irish Super-Middleweight
36-3 Pro | 21 KO's

● Won 26 Amateur Titles
● World Middleweight Champion
● Undefeated World Super-Middleweight Champion
● Marauding Barbarian Style

Steve Collins was known for his mental fortitude, and it was when he moved up to Super-Middleweight that the stars really aligned for him. He had more power, felt more durable, and what many would seem a psychotic belief he would win.

There most famous case of the mind games he would play and the sheer confidence, was when he fought Chris Eubank, who was left heavily reluctant the night before the fight asking for it to be pulled.

One 'notable' fighter who never got to cross paths was Roy Jones Jr (known steroids user and fight dodger), who no matter what amount of money was brought up, refused to ever fight Collins, even when Collins had a world title.

Very fast from (((Sky Sports)))

They can't stop the world from seeing what happened.

An important thing to remember with boxing.

Never get into the sport of boxing.
You'll be robbed by powerful elites that own the belt organisations and betting companies.
You'll be left brain damaged and broke.
