[@Bazooka183]

What a great lad Mark Kaylor. Never ever a dull moment. Thanks for the memories Champ🥊

[@colinwells1076]

Definitely a golden era a true west ham warrior fighter the drath

[@MrANDYGEEZER]

Good British fighter at National, Commonwealth & European level & always up for it & a game fighter but not a Minter or Sibson who beat him 🤔😉👍

[@robertwendrop4764]

Was at this fight with my dad, was an unbelievable atmosphere. Plenty of punch ups in the crowd..a terrific night with my lovely ol Dad. We came home in the coach and my dad proudly had Marks “belt” on his lap. Great days and Mark was always a battler. ⚒⚒

The days when we could watch all these fights for free happy times

[@PaulBurton-j1l]

And better fights also

[@gerardwhite2689]

Mark Taylor a great value for money fighter if he was around today he would have picked up one of the titles on offer this was a golden time for British boxing a time we will never see again

[@chriscolton6329]

Kaylor was game all day, wasn't he? This fight, and the war with the supremely talented Errol Christie, were classics...

[@martinwilliams5957]

Excellent scrap. Thanks for posting .

[@lloydpaddock3866]

Great fighter Mark , never in a dull fight! Unlucky to be fighting in a golden era really . Watched all his fights on TV and the one chance I got I've watching at the Wembley arena the Sibson fight didn't happen because one of them pulled out the fight injured

[@stevebowness9435]

Kaylor fought Sibson 1984.

[@lloydpaddock3866]

@@stevebowness9435 They did later but the show I went to in 84 where Sibbo was supposed to fight Kaylor it says in the programme that due to injury the fight wouldn't take place. Long time ago I know Steve the before mentioned event was the one where John Mugabe was top of the bill and Frank Bruno and Herol Graham were on the bill

[@857noel]

Great fight credit to both mem

[@francisjtuk]

I'm feeling that Kaylor would have made a decent villain in Guy Ritchie films a la Vinnie Jones.

Thanks for the upload!

[@jozefserf2024]

The supremely talented Roy Gumbs had no business fighting the flat footed Mark Kaylor like that. The ring also looks suspiciously small but there's no denying that Kaylor was a tough lad. Lawless was an awful trainer but he always got his fighters fit.

[@MrMandelsohn]

Almost made me a West Ham fan watching this. Mark was one of my favourite fighters but too brave and reckless.

[@davidramsay6461]

The very first punch, Kaylor landed, after his knock down, nearly knocked Gumps out. I remember Terry Lawless mentioning it at the time,and when I looked again, it's true

[@nigelkennedy3427]

Great to see a cracking fight with no stupid music etc. We're not the complete idiots promoters and the media make us out to be - a great fight is a great fight and is lessened by all the stupidity. Football also is spoilt the same way.

[@boum62]

Lovely lad mark. I remember us talking about him on the southbank and wondering jow far he could go. Great fighter but not as good at minter or Sibbo

[@andyaim4764]

Start of the fight the ref was in the neutral corner!! This was obviously before Hunnigan done his sprint across the ring trick lol

[@DavidUKesb]

I was at that Honeyghan fight. Marvellous stuff!

[@joemorgan636]

Great fight great days for boxing 70s and 80s mid 90s not like wankers today they are absolute joke mate bottlers

[@markclitheroe900]

Great bloke but no defence which proved his shortcoming.

[@mickydub3]

A young Frank Warren

[@KENNYPAUL2]

See everybody looking off to the right around the 10.25 mark? ICF?

[@kdlofty]

05:14 World's worst dance off. Lol.

[@brianmorecombe2726]

Surprised why Mark Kaylor never fought Tony Sibson,same era.Sibbo would have battered him like he did to Minter

[@RRYYAANNK7]

He did fight him. It was a close decision win for sibson 😑

[@theblackstridersofficial2562]

They did in fact meet in the ring and it's on KZbin I think - I think they drew !!

[@brianmorecombe2726]

@@RRYYAANNK7 OK,i stand corrected.

[@g4obb]

I was at the Sibson fight....Sibbo had more experience but certainly was not able to Batter MK.....very close Match..could have gone either way!

[@pat8484]

Sibson beat Kaylor by 2 rounds.

[@bigdaddy4069]

When they 'fought', and not doing a Mayweather impression. . . . Wonderful days
