The best documentary I’ve seen in years! I remember watching Johnny Owen, he was a fine boxer, an inspiration. I was very sad and shocked when he died. I wish Liam all the best with his career, I’ll be watching in the wings.....
Nice documentary. I don't know an awful lot about past Welsh boxers, and I wasn't expecting the Johnny Owen story to end like that tbh. Respect from England and would love to see Liam fight Eubanks, but doubt Eubanks would fancy a decent boxer in his prime!
I love this documentary! One of the best I've seen. The way the history of the Welsh fighters is blended in with Williams' story is beautiful. Gary Lockett is awesome also. I love watching that guy at work. All the best Liam Williams, regards from Neath 🥊
Great piece of doc making, but Jesus that piece on Johnny Owen nearly had me in tears. I'd been a boxing fan for about five years by then, and it was the first ring tradgedy I was aware of.Remember even kids at school being affected by it.
A really interesting film... full of thought, pathos and charm. The Johny Owen story upset me greatly at the time....still touches me all these years later! I'm glad they didn't show the final punch.... boxing can be the cruellest of sports.
Sorry to sound dull and you definitely won't belive me but he is my cousin my big cousin my even sent me a photo of him when he was up the farm for a visit I got it saved to my farm sorry it sound dull
Joe Louis, won the fight before having his gloves laced up, Bumpy Johnson and co. backed the "bronze bomber" well beyond his retirement. Watch the fight, Tommy needs a clean ko to win and that still may not be enough, crazy times! A pleasure to watch, but the narrative will be lost on some.
Top Fighter and top bloke. No doubt he's on the World Title path. I reckon he'd beat Munguia, Hurd, Charlo, Andrade right now, at 154 or 160. Such an underrated fighter and still undefeated in my eyes. He schooled Smith in the first fight. It should have went to the cards after the headbutt, and he won the second fight in mine and many other peoples' opinion.
My opinion - He wouldn’t beat anyone in the top twenty/ten, so basically none of the fighters you named. But he does look great against nobodies, I can’t deny that.
Think you're exaggerating a bit Max. Enzo was a very good , exciting fighter, and yes, one of the best Welsh fighters of recent times, but I think the GOAT title goes to Jiimmy Wilde, Calzaghe a close second, Winston'e next.
Lots of comments on how nice the valleys are. But when my work mates and me went to Merthyr the police came to our site within 24 hours to warn us that should we go drinking in the town the locals will attack us on sight. Nice place if you're Welsh.
Must be same all over wales was working on a B&Q in Barry went to a fish and chip shop for food and the attitude on the man and woman behind the trap was ridiculous treat like shit I picked the bag up and launched it at his head and then waited out side for the short ass to come out side but he never did should have known not to go in had rugby shirts Ireland Scotland Wales and New Zealand but there were no England one
@@James-lm6wt Yeh righto We believe you (LOLs) - WTF is it with you Leeds muppets. Always desperate to post how hard you are. A City that has only ever had ONE World Champion boxer, and I cant even name another Leeds boxer.
I wouldn’t listen to anything the police tell you, but I can tell you if you are a decent enough fella you’ll be alright where ever you are in South Wales....my English and Irish friends will vouch for that.
@@hambutty1 yeah I just sat here and thought what can I make up in my head to make me look hard am sure I could have made something up a lot more harder than throwing a tray of fish and chips with curry sauce you melt
tommy farr versus joe louis. Louis the unanimous points champion, the crown booed. Joe louis was the first black heavyweight jack johnson. American did not want at the time a black heavyweight, hence the crown booed louis.
I'm not Welsh but absolutely loved this. Fantastic stuff, thank you.
Bless the lads from South Wales, who lace on the gloves.
superb video I remember my dad being so upset about johnny owen that's what got me into boxing
Very sad, shook me at the time. Great fighter and a lovely guy.
Great story only watch Liam since the Heffron fight, but seen all off his fights now defo world class. Improving in every fight 💪💪
😂😂😂😂
Good documentary. Sad with that guy dying. Calzaghe what a legend that guy is. I grew up watching him as a kid with my dad. Class guy.
Liam is my cousin that's what my nan said and he came up my farm but I never believed then until my nan showed me the photo
No doubt Calzaghe top fighting man.
The best documentary I’ve seen in years! I remember watching Johnny Owen, he was a fine boxer, an inspiration. I was very sad and shocked when he died. I wish Liam all the best with his career, I’ll be watching in the wings.....
Great documentary. Spent summers with my gram in Wales. Special spot my heart.
I like him a real down to earth guy I wish he becomes world champion
Couple of days away mate

great documentary
Wales produce the best fighting men in Europe.
For a tiny country they produce great sportsmen.
This is one of the best documentary I have ever seen, simply great. It's now 2022 and I hope Liam smashes Eubank Jr. 👊🇺🇲🗽🏴👊
Liam you have improved so much
Indeed
Sorry to sound dull and you definitely won't belive me but he is my cousin my big cousin my even sent me a photo of him when he was up the farm for a visit I got it saved to my farm sorry it sound dull
Let’s go Williams, you got sheeraz in the bag ❤
Some of the toughest funniest men in the world
Legend that is Tommy Farr, didn't realise corruption and bent judges went back that far in the fight game.
Boxing is on the rise again folks,the day will come
It is here my friend.
He has improved tremendously amazing an absolute animal, just hope he isn’t taking any performance enhancers which the ingle gym is known for
Wow
After the last two fights I am a big fan. I would love to see him fight Billy Joe Saunders
Who now Liam Williams
He wouldn't have beat him then but now he would beat him to the floor,he's an animal in the ring with skills.
The Welsh brilliant people and I’m English xx

Didn’t reach the stars but boy you touched them

he wouldn't mate
@@JKroniKz Thanks for your opinion. I've given mine.
My opinion - He wouldn’t beat anyone in the top twenty/ten, so basically none of the fighters you named.
But he does look great against nobodies, I can’t deny that.
@@drfriendlyfire I think your right we gonna find out what he is against Andrade
why no Enzo Maccarinelli one of the GOAT
His girlfriend pregnant sheep is though , congratulations to Enzo and half of the welsh too . They sure do love their sheep , a lot .
Because he's not from valleys
And jimmy wilde who was 132-3 with 99kos
Think you're exaggerating a bit Max. Enzo was a very good , exciting fighter, and yes, one of the best Welsh fighters of recent times, but I think the GOAT title goes to Jiimmy Wilde, Calzaghe a close second, Winston'e next.
because he is not good really
7:51 didnt Del Boy was around back then
Cwych ❤❤❤

Alimhanuly vs Liam. 👍

Crybaby Williams and his crybaby fan's will know the name of Englishman Liam Smith forever .
We all know how that really went you fool 😂 smith wouldn't go anywhere near him now
