Just been watching Mr Rollerball in a bout with Steve Viedor and couldn’t help but notice how well they worked together, how they both gave each other a fair share of the match and made each other look good. Mark could make just about any match look exciting (have I mentioned that I like Rocco, Adrian?...) just look at his bouts with Marty Jones or The Dynamite kid! Others I think worked well were ...
Quinn and Bridges
Nagasaki and Marino
Jimmy Breaks and Steve Grey
And I’m sure many before my time you tell me about.
Any thoughts?
Bob Kirkwood was another who would just work chameleon-like and seamlessly around his opponents' styles.
Catweazle v Dave Shade was another bout that was billed hundreds of times.
For all the times I saw McManus v Colbeck, I wouldn't say they were a match made in heaven.
But McManus v Pallo definitely.
I remember the Lapaque Brothers and other teams of baddies putting the Royals over very well.
