Mcginley was rushed away to hospital after the fight both my parents god rest them were standing right beside mcginley they used a towel to fan his face to give him air and rushed him to hospital Mcginley was a tough man but not in the same league as dan rooney
It's been over 30 years since this fight happened and people are still talking about it. It was a big event back in the day and I don't think another travellers fight will ever be remembered like this one.
Loved Dan meself coolest Irish traveller 💯 England's got Bartley Wales got the price man was an animal and the kilts got there's Bartley took some dealing with facts stand out💯🥊🙏
I drink with Mark Rooney who is Dan's nephew and he's very very proud of his heritage and he is a Medic yet you get the feeling he's a tough man underneath.. again very proud of his traveller heritage.. and very proud of Dan... never a step back...btw I watched the video... shame the crowd... crowded the fight.
Dan is a real good man and Aney McGinley father was a real real hard man he never got beat but aney met his mach with Dan proper powerful man big puncher and now he is a man of god bless him
@@standalby6949 the fight was in the eigthies. The fights nowadays aren't the same as too much money on them, always end on draws. The fight between joyce and doherty was a joke.
Awesome seeing this for the first time just now ! And we all knew that Dan clearly won the fight because we all seen it first on a vhs tape ! Dan Rooney was the best Travelling man to ever fight in my humble opinion, and yes I include Bartley Gorman in that !
@@2003Rooney I’m talking strictly bare knuckle, of course Tyson Fury is the greatest Travelling man to fight in the pro game ! Dan Rooney never fought in the gloved ring under marquess of queensbury rules ! Dan Rooney was the best man of a Traveller to ever take off his coat for fight and that me ol China is that !
I remember this fight, McGinley used his face chin and jaw as defence, ha ha Dan Rooney is the real deal people, an absolute legend in the bare knuckle scene.
Iv watched this fight many times over the years first time Iv seen this interview as far as I could see mcginley was basically just a punch bag was only 1 winner and it was big Dan🙏👍
Dan Rooney the true King cannot be denied. Where are the real men of today ? What the feck are they breeding now ! Love his sense of humour & humbleness ❤
Everybody knows Dan Rooney beat mcginley fair and square mcginley claimed victory, I no you no who won yes Dan Rooney won fair play to aney but take it on the chin you lost 👊👊👊👊
I don't think anyone in the world apart from aneys sons think aney won that fight. big dan Rooney was a different class, won that fight and would of knocked aney out for all to see if the crowd didnt rescue him
I don’t know the man and iv never met him but my dad does, and he’s not one for exaggerating about anything. He often mentioned Dan while chatting to friends and visitors that might bring up such things as him being an absolute gentleman, but he said no one would handle Dan in a straight bear knuckle fight! There were a few that might in a rough and tumble but they would need to be on top form.
@@stardust-hr8wh religion. Ther always trying to convert people , half my family's Christion, I don't believe in any of it , big devide between us now and it's not me that put it there.
Dan Rooney was a good man, but never the best man among travellers. They are delusional to say that he was the best in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Dan Rooney one that fight I don’t care what anyone says it’s there to see that old Dan was the winner 100% and me personally I think the man always carried himself like a gentlemen that’s Dan Rooney
