    Batman’s “Bane” sent me here. Never heard of this gent or his story, but what a wonderful interview. Thanks for posting this. Even how he moves at this age, there’s no doubts the guy could throw down twice as much in his younger days. Keep in mind that’s bare knuckle on the bag and it’s that brutal in power and technique. A fighter is a fighter, no matter the age

    a fascinating insight, made by Shane Meadows who also directed Dead Man's Shoes, This Is England and the Stone Roses comeback film. Thanks for uploading, this is far more interesting than the shoddy call-out gypsy fight videos that are all over UA-cam nowadays. Mr.Gorman speaks wisely as an honourable Gentleman and may I compliment his beautiful Daughter for her glorious hair.

    I used to watch this over and over a few years back. Because of it I remember buying Bartley Gorman's book. Though as a fighter he was as hard as iron, what I grew to love about the man was the gentle humility that seemed to seep and shine through the words and the story of his life. To me he appeared to be so much more than a fighter. He appeared to be the REAL deal. R.I.P. With all respect. Xxx

To then find out the reason you have felt so blessed throughout your whole youth was because Papa was the most violent man in the world willing to take a bare knuckle risk . I would never stop wearing that smile after that recollection. I will always be a fan of this family and it's courage.

      And if this is the real Joe Joyce, a true fighting man himself, you know how difficult getting up from shots like that would be.

      didn't stand a chance against Fury who's
      been taught how to fight since the day
      he could walk on his feet.
      I doubt Joshua or any of the rest of
      them could beat fury either.
      He'll retire undefeated undisputed champion
      Men like him won't go down unless
      You kill him. Hardy breeds.

    At 3:07 Bartley said “a Gypsy Man wouldn’t lay on his back knocked out for a Million pounds and let his breed down”
    Ironically the present Gypsy King Tyson Fury, related by Breed to Bartley, proved just that. His DNA makeup woke him from unconsciousness and dragged him up from the canvas when the hardest hitting heavyweight Wilder KO’d him. Now if that doesn’t prove exactly what Bartley just stated I don’t know what would
