Fight Fans: Mayweather vs Mcgregor

[Andrew Steer]

Ha, Ha, yah, the 80's made me think of Jimmy Abbot, Kallie Knoetze, Gerrie Coetzee, Korrie Sanders and there must have been a few others.

 

Jimmy Abbot was an enigma, he must have weighed 180kgs, very little of it pure muscle and he could barely walk never mind bob around the ring, how he survived is beyond me, but he had a strong following, boxing was big in those days.

The last thing I saw on Jimmy Abbot was he had lost 200kgs and was working as an evangelist of sorts... I suppose a google search will fill in the gaps

I never knew that, I know his brothers got into some trouble with the law and Jimmy fell on some hard times but I didn't know that.

 

To be honest I thought he was a chuckle, he was a product of the times, nothing more nothing less.

Wow, he has lost a lot of weight,......can you imagine wearing that shirt.  ​

Nothing like a gastric bypass in the morning...

Shirt? I thought it was a picture of them pitching a tent!

He's an evangelist in Heidelberg, Gauteng. I saw him approximately 3 months ago, he hasn't really gained anything after that pic with the yellow shirt. No gastric bypass as far as I know, just put his head down and lost weight.

Wow, all credit to him, to turn your life around like that is something else, not easy.

Yah, .... I have to say Jimmy looks pretty normal here.
