[QUOTE="Nev, post: 60704, member: 38211"] Hello. You may have such information by now, but just in case you don`t, I can tell you that Duggie Pomford lost a decision ever so narrowly, to Bruce Woodcock who became the British Heavyweight Champion. Duggie ran The Golden Gloves ABC in Miles Street, Liverpool 8. I was at the club in 1955 and remember how Duggie was a stickler for training hard. I, as a lightweight used to punch a bag with Duggie leaning on it shouting for me to punch harder and faster! Can you imagine that? He was a great man in every sense of the word. I remember him telling us never to be involved in fights outside, and to always walk away from trouble. Good advice. I never knew of Duggies wartime exploits until recently, as he never spoke of them; such was his humility. Everyone liked him. Best of look with your research> Sincerely, Nev Harrison. [/QUOTE]
