RE: Billy Joe Saunders title fight off… “mini Mike Tyson” arrested, alleged links with murder, robbery and chocolate smuggling syndicate!
Wow, @nanzo-scoop. I guess the moral of this story is "pick your fights carefully". I'm sure Billy Joe Saunders is probably happy with that result, lol.
It maybe hard to believe now but back in the day, I used to attend "Alexis and Paul's Shooting fighting Classes" just under the Kilburn Arches. And I clearly remember some of the unsavoury characters I'd meet and got quite familiar with. However, I also remember one of their star trainees, a young "Lee Murray", hungry for a shot at the UFC crown.
Well, after climbing the rankings and actually making it there, he got found out to be involved in the famous Securitas Robbery back in 2006. I remember being shocked at the news on television as he actually came across such as such a genuine and likeable guy. I know his personal attributes are not linked to his criminal actions but that's how I thought at the time, lol.
So it seems the adrenaline-fueled craziness inside of the ring can carry forth into the outside world as well! Some of these fighters, eh? :)
Kool little "scoop", my man! Thank you and god bless... :)
The antics of Lee Murray will go down in MMA folklore! Thanks for sharing the story. Hope you're cool.
Yes, @nanzo-scoop. That story itself delivered a knock out punch! Otherwise, I'm good thanks. Hope all's good your side too.
Bless, man...
Lee Murray was a badass!
And could have gone far... Guess we'll never know now, eh?
If only Anderson Silva never existed.... lol
True... A legend in the octagon. :)
