Barry McGuigan was known as an aggressive, technical yet brutal fighter, the amount of KO's speak for themselves. His fists were an an axe that chopped at the body.
In his second every fight, he was on the receiving end of a highly controversial decision loss vs Peter Eubanks(Chris Eubanks brother)
From there he went on to run through all opposition, being denied a chance at world titles.
At the end of his career in his last 4 or so fight he received his only other 2 losses, which many put down to just being too past prime.
Such was the brutality of McGuigan's shots, that he put an opponent in a coma who later would die from it. This shook McGuigan, having almost stepped away from the sport completely, but he came back.
