I'm told this infamous mis-match where Dave slaughtered and threw The Black Prince around like a rag doll and no sold everything has been discussed on here sometime before I joined. If the topic has already been done then I wouldn't want to start it again but if someone can direct me to the original discussion I'd be grateful. Thanks.

I m curious too about all the controversy surrounding this bout. To my eyes it looks just like a heavy worked bout certainly not a shoot. Some in the States call them 'squash' matches. Surely there are loads of similar matches out there. Finlay went through a series of similar bouts in a build up to making him.'superman' Fit Finlay and a feud with Big Daddy. See his bouts against Grasshopper, Jackie Turpin and a young Danny Collins. He pulverised the latter as much he did Black Prince. If you wanted to see an equally brutal match watch Marty Jones v Bernie Wright. A heavy 'work' but was it a real knock out?
