Yeah, i knew this was out there but never seen it until now. Not my thing but always good to see you guys enjoying it and of course Mike was always gonna love this one :)

I know what you're thinking - all that boxing training paid off. 🙇🏻

Hearing Mike say Balls of Steel. There's a sketch show/game show you would enjoy checking out.

I watched that a while back and think Mike would enjoy it. Ricky looks a lot less confident in the build up than he does in the video they’ve just watched.. I remember him being reluctant to land a proper punch on the guy he was sparring with in case the guy walloped him back!

I do have 2 Muhammad Ali documentaries if they are of interest to you. 1 is the story of the 1972 fight he had in Ireland. And the other is a documentary filmed during his final visit to Britain not long before his death which talks about his legendary fight with Henry Cooper in 1963 aswell as Ali's general connection to the UK over the years. I did originally add the latter to the playlist but ofcourse they all went down on YouTube with the LilMonkeyFella channel. Interesting stuff

Here is the Bob vs Les Dennis fight. Its around 25 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_RYZHfKaJk

This was a warm up fight for Ricky in preparation for a 3 round fight he had coming up. The full thing is here, about an hour long, which also includes the behind the scenes stuff with the training and build up. The person he is against is relatively unknown, he is a businessman , and at the time the husband of TV presenter Anthea Turner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_zjpVRJJ18

Money's on Mike if he can get inside.

This was a surprise to see pop up. Pleasant surprise. Great commentary, seriously Mike as I said on the eubank benn watchalong, I really enjoy seeing you get into it, you're very good at it. You're the pro technical play-by-play commentator and Jess is the celebrity colour commentator drafted in(sorry, commentationer) My thing with this was, was it actually meant to be a spar or a fight? Because Ricky came out for a fight and Bob came out for a spar from what I saw. If you were sparring with a pro and went out with that intensity, you'd be shown the gym exit pretty quick 😂

I hear you Jess with fighting it’s a fine line though as a guy play fighting or controlled fighting can easily turn into actual hateful fighting if there isn’t respect beforehand and quickly after.

Ricky obviously has the advantage of weight BUT he does not box particularly well as he spends too much time holding Bob's head to facilitate blows, which is not permitted
