In Bartley’s Book He Won the fight but Henry Francis says he won and give another fella a beating as well. Henry was interviewed Yesterday on Dodge Woodall RU-vid Channel so have a listen and Make your own mind up
There's something about the way you tell these fighting stories , i could listen to one after another , am so glad i found your channel. God bless you my good man.
I think Henry Francis is still alive? If so somebody needs to interview him, bet he's got some great stories to tell, would love to hear them👍, would like to hear his account of his fight with Bartley 👊💪👍
Okay brother plase tell us who he beat, There is a lie he beat Bartley Gorman when Bartley was drunk but the fight he is claiming was John Rooney vs Bartley Gorman. He did challenge the late Bartley who was 20 years his elder and died 2 years after. He claimed to have beat Jimmy Stockings but 3 hours after Stockings was so drunk his wife had taken their kid off him incase he dropped the child. Jimmy went looking next day for a straight go and Francis had left and stayed left for years. Name someone of any note Henry beat in a straight go, not headbutting a straight go
It was Big Just who was King, it was passed to Bartley, from Bartley it went to Dan Rooney, from Dan it was between Sweeney, Big Joe, Aney and after tat it went to shit until James Quinn MacDonagh took up the matle and he was the last great champion though theres so many great fighters from Trevor McGinley to Joe Joyce Jnr, Davey Joyce, to Cowboys Michael MacDonagh, theres Dohertys, Prices etc
3 times Jimmy called him out and 3 times he shit it and even Wen he sly head butted Jimmy and got to fighting it was a draw Jimmy gave just as much back
@@SmokingLaddy I knew a fella that see him and Jimmy stockin go at it ..he said Jimmy had drink in him at the time..but was up in the morning ready to fight but Henry had pulled off..hard men.👊👊👍👌
Surprising to think tough grown men drinking and then talking about nothing but fighting…don’t know what you’d think about that in these times or how long you’d stand around em?!
