    Terry Christle comes to mind although he might have been a bit earlier than that.

    Steve Collins definitely, was avoided most his career and when he got his shot showed why.

    Rush Boxing club and Rush Martial Arts head coach.

    When Steve got his shot he was beaten. McCallum beat him fairly widely! He then lost a couple of years later to Reggie Johnson.

    When he fought mike he was a relative novice and gave mike a hell of a fight-mike was avoided by everyone back then too, this fight is a plus on the Collins cv not a minus.

    I thought Mike beat him fairly well. And he was about 15 or 16 fights into the career. A wee bit green, but far from a begineer or novice. I admire Collins a lot for his toughness and chin and stamina and heart, and at times he could be quite nice to watch; too many times he was not nice to watch!

    Although I hear Coyle beat Marcelo Rodriguez decisively you would be expecting to knock out a guy who has been knocked out in 2 rounds by a fighter with a 3-12-0 record, and in 2 rounds by a guy with a 4-4-0 record, and in 2 rounds by a guy with a 4-2-0 record...

    :D There was a Paschal.

    Paschal is still around, he trains Stephen Ormond, Gary 'Spike' O'Sullivan and Ian Tims.
