Kirkland Laing RIP 00:05 - Jun 11 with 1695 views

Not sure if anyone knows the connections between me and Johnny Melfah, but he has text me tonight to say his mate Kirkland Laing has died. That’s all I have for now. It’s very sad. What a shit day.

What hurt Colin the most in both McCrory fights, other than the oppressive conditions, was that championship fights had just been cut from 15 to 12 rounds. I've no doubt he would have won both over the longer distance but thought he did just enough to win them anyway.

Definitely the first fight, not so sure bout the 2nd fight, although i may have that the wrong way round

It was the second fight that Eddie Thomas was convinced Colin won, as well as the great boxing writer and Boxing News editor Harry Mullan.

His brother Ken used to be with him, I remember him coming to Pat Mathias gym, that was in side street up the east side of the jail one Sunday morning to spar, he sparred with Terry Mathews, Frank McCord and I think Doug James, he was class fair play, he could box as well, I don't get this opinion that some have that he was just a puncher, he was far better than that.

I meant he was a puncher as well Steve. Did you hear the Moriarty story

In Baron's ? Yes, I missed it by about an hour, some lucky lass [and she wasn't a Doberman

insisted that I escorted her home, apart from that my lips are sealed.
