Shocking scenes in the Burns-Cooke fight
Absolute farce, Cooke was clearly in no state to get in the ring for that fight. He should never have been in there, rightly embarrassed in the worst way possible.
Even more embarrassing was Frank Warren trying to defend the fight and Cooke's condition. Loved Ed Robinson asking the fella from the boxing board of control 'what did you make of that farce?'
Brilliant, he wasn't happy and very defensive with his comments, I wonder why eh.
