There is somany Romany smiths .. and our great and great great grandfather respectively used to where stockings when he thought . It was like boxer . Wearing shorts Of its time . He to once hade a classic fight .. and someone referred to him as stockin.. and as a way to difrience .. us smiths it stuck with us ever since we’re nearly all christened smith .. but are often known as Stockins .. hope this explains 🤙🥊
@cushtytv1006 Oh, yes I gotcha 👍. Yes I know there are a lot of Smiths.. I use to stop with them in he West Country and in Wales. Maybe distance relatives of yours.
Joe i would like to ask aswell how did you end up fightin champ if aarons older than you and champ showed fair play with you and charlie ?? Would like to hear full story on that ?
I secretly wanted to fight .. so I asked Aaron who’s going to fight he said whoever that was enough for me to go to work mate .. I was just 18 but I had no age on myself I was confident I could fight anyone in a straightner I’m not saying that now but that’s exactly how I felt then probably a dangerous way to think or a great way to think .. it worked anyway 😀🤙🥊
@@cushtytv1006 fair play Joe totally understand. Some man for 1 man as Ino champ could fight and is Charlie's older brother so I no you deffo slept good after that 🎯🤜🥳
They did but on reflection jim siad Johnny love had won .. he said credit where it’s due it’s not johns fault he’s eyes closed . It was johns day he said it’s the way the cookie crumbled 😀🤙🥊
