Absolutely that Mate 🤙🥊
Tonypandy, Tommy Farr
Until they started revering prince Naseem and amir khan
Huh?@@xerotonin6776
Tommy Farr great boxer... Also Joe Calzaghie unbeaten retired champion... Great vid.
fighters had respect for each other before fights in those days. No trash talking.
Could not be a truer word spoken 🤙🥊
It’s embarrassing what one’s out the Fury’s mouth
@@Smog104Not to mention Windmill Wilder's excuses.
I think back then it was just not acceptable to try to promote a fight that way. Ali is often blamed for that, but as he said at the time, he was mostly trying to promote the fights that he was in. Also there was an incident back then between Billy Conn and and Italian American boxer were ethnic insults were caught on a mike. Earlier of course we have matches Jack Johnson were racial slurs were hurled at him by the boxers he fought, and of course Harry Greb. There is even a story that after Greb's fight with Mickey Walker, they had a fight in the streets. Sugar Ray Robinson and Carment Bassilio hated each other. The thing today which is totally wrong is when they have tehse weigh ins, or press conferences, adn tehinsults start their. I blame this on the promoters.
What a gent...bona fide hard man...no nonsense...when real.men ruled the roost...respect cushty.
Absolutely that mate .. thanks 🤙
Great bit of filming,
Tommy Farr what a man
Yes indeed he was thanks james 🤙
Thanks for posting this Joe very interesting and respectful post. One of finest efforts by a Brit overseas for me. An almost peak Joe Louis in his own back yard and always in the fight 🥊
Thank you .. very true words
What a great fighter Joe Louis was btw. So fast an accurate for a heavyweight
I’m pleased you know
This is brilliant, thank you.
Thank you pleased you enjoyed 🤙
Thanks for posting this im from the next village Maerdy , my grandfather new Tommy, said he was a gentleman, like you cushty! Well done 👍
Thank you stefan
Well done fella. Good film.100% better than thr crap we are forced to endure on here....make some more,keep doing it mate.
Thanks matt
Tommy Farr was a genuine tough fighting man.
He was a very good smart boxer who if he’d had more of a knockout punch could have achieved even more.
Hardly anyone could take the fight to Joe Louis in his prime like Tommy did.
And when Thatcherism shut the colliery’s in Wales it was like a plague running straight through the valleys. Like it was through every coalfield regions throughout the uk.
Yes I can imagine it had taken its soul away to some degree
Most of the pits had closed before Thatcher came along
The welsh valleys have produced some top fighters joe calzaghe, gavin Rees and the matchstick man 👌
Jimmy wild .. colin Jones . And so on 🤙
Two of my favourite fighters Colin Jones and Gavin Rees. My mate was good too, Jason Cook European champion
And not been given the recognition they deserved
Colin Jones was adored in this Stoke on Trent household....no suntan, stood there white as a pint of milk...loved him...bey up duck ha ha ha.
@@cushtytv1006Colin Jones as hard as a coffin's nails.
Great video, 👍
Thank you very much 😀🤙🥊
Liked the video he looked 1 tuff man 👍👏
He was ,, thank you 🥊🤙

Broardmark Road Upton Lea.
Great video Joe, was good to speak to you on the way out of Brentford on Saturday evening, keep up the good work 👊
Great Geoff thanks very much keep tuned 🐝🤙🥊
He put up a brilliant fight against Joe Louis 🥊🥊
Indeed he did 🥊
Great video/Podcast Cushty: you definitely a new subscriber pal.. back from Ireland 🇮🇪 i boxed the welsh champion @16 yrs old, 2- 1 beaten on the final round & not by much bud. God bless you 🙏 super watch at the end.. 👍🏻🇮🇪💯😉
Thank you mate very much I’ll be looking out for ya 🤙🥊
Great post Cushty! Tommy would have beaten Tyson Fury by decision! too quick and skilful!
He was just that and brutally tough to match 🤙
@@cushtytv1006 Love & respect brother! The old school fighters do not get enough respect! Tommy Farr came from the era when men fought every 2 or 3 weeks!
The era of; Sam Langford, Henry Armstrong, Micky Walker.... tough men, tough times! Love & respect bro.🙏
Thanks mate hope all is well
Not wrong regarding this one Joe as you said earlier today. Keep safe regards Biff .
Thanks Biff I thought you would like .. thanks the game today 🤙🥊🏌🏼♂️
When the fight ended the referee lifted Farr’s hand. Many of the Yanks thought Farr won and booed when the referee then lifted Louis’ hand said he make a mistake and was only shaking Farr’s hand.
Great up load 👍
🤙🥊
my dad talked abount tommy farr in the 1970s he said he was a great fighter he was
Indeed Stephen 🤙🥊
Fantastic boxer and as hard as they come the great Tommy Farr also remember he was a lot lighter than todays heavyweights, probably make light heavyweight
Yes most of them was
Good work Joe
Thanks Steve 🤙
Tommy fought joe when louise was at his prime and best shape
Indeed he did Eddie 🤙
Very good fighter
Top man Tommy Farr another good film
Thanks Dylan
I have a wall in my house dedicated to all the old great fighters of the past, Tommy Farr was shockingly cheap, only fighter I haven’t got is Jim Driscoll. It’s pronounced TON E PANDY and the marks on his back were blue lines where he’d scratched his back and the coal had tattooed marks on him which he told Louis “they were from his sparring partners who are animals!”
Who can forget Joe bugner running backwards for 30 rounds against ali
Ton Y Pandy Pronounced Ton A Pandy . My Mother and her Family came from Ton Y Pandy . The Merediths. R.I.P. I must say with Great Pride that Ton Y Pandy has a Very Special place in my heart ! R.I.P. Great video Custy ! Keep up the good work. XXXXX
Thanks I’ve since learned that 😀🤙
I was born in the famous conctrete houses in Dinas Rhondda in 1958 ...
Tommy Farr my grandads favourite
@cushtytv106 Thx for posting this beautiful tribute to the great Tommy Farr , I can remember as a kid laying in bed one Saturday morning maybe 77/78 and my now late father bringing me a hotspur or battle annual ( essential reading before the discovery of girls 💋 ) and seeing Tommy’s story , a story that stayed with me , from what I’ve seen since he was indeed robbed of the decision against Louis. Typical yanks don’t like it up em! - From another non Welshman but equally proud Englishmen! 🇬🇧
He made me a little more to be a part of Great Britain
🤙
More proud
@cushtytv1006 thx for your reply and SAME . New sub here bud. Cheers 🍺
😀🤙
Mr Farr I think.
Great video
Thank you john 🥊
i knew who he was right away... Im originally from Scotland, living in Canada now, but i share a last name with this fellah... he was some kind of distant cousin to my Grandfather and Dad... my Grandfathers name was Tommy Farr(1900) as well, and my Dad was Mike(1933), (amazing family resemblance to Dad and myself, very very close)... they were from Larkhall, (a village just outside of Glasgow), and still lotsa Farrs in Larkhall and surrounding area... i think he woulda beat Joe if he hadn't broken his hand on Joes head/face in the first few rounds IMO... wasn't he the only one to go 12 rounds with Joe and not get knocked out?... very kool!!
Nice storey 🤙
Good job Joe mate, all the best
Thanks Tyrone 🤙😀🥊
Tommy went in with the brown bomber Joe Louis. A brave man a man to be proud of no doubt at all . The best Welsh fighter for me is Joe Calzaghe albeit a different weight. Tommy was fabulous in with louis . RESPECT .
Michael he was as was calz two so good and brave I don’t want to separate them 🤙🥊
Tommy Farr was know as the Tonypandy terror
Yes he was Tony I messed up a little 🤙🥊
I did wonder 😀 I thought, he was a bit big to be called a terrier
Tommy Farr was never a skilled of gifted fighter, but he had the heart of a lion, and hard as nails.
Heart of a lion good counter speed
Definitely not Cooper, if it was Tommy Farr he was Welsh.
Tommy was a working man 😊
Indeed
My Father said Tommy Farr was the best.
I’m sure your father knew he’s stuff 🤙🥊
He did well
His nickname was the Tonypandy Terror, not Terrier.
Paul it was I realised my mistake to late but I’m learning at least I hope so well spotted 😀🤙
Henry Cooper
Good butt not that good 🥊
Ur right
🏴
It's pronounced Tonna pandy. (Tonna as in Donna)
Rhondda is pronounced rhontha. 👍
Diolch Joe 👍
I take it that’s good 😀🤙
@@cushtytv1006 It is mate 😊’ it means thank you 🙏
I thought he won that fight
👋👋
By the look.of him I'd beg to dither
User have you seen joe Louis boat and he was brown .. 😀😀 unless your a yank Tommy give as good as he got
@@cushtytv1006 Tommy was a great fighter I agree but the best British ever ????? Lennox Lewis for one was on another level.
We all have opinions .. butt most of the historians . Rank joe Louis above Lennioex lewis .. Tommy would have held he’s own and was proper British with a accent and love to prove it not a yank accent and Canadian gold medal around he’s knock .. Tommy Farr proud British all the way .. go on Tommy sir🥊
@@cushtytv1006 born in Stratford east london moved to Canada at 10 and like you say sir its about opinions BUT maybe Google anger management sir or get more sleep ffs talk about " my way or the highway "
So I can only take your opinion just remind yourself small heavyweights knocked out the great Canadian fighter Lennox ..ffs wake user son come have rest and come back later or take the f highway
Cushty. 😂😂
Maybe the toughest ? But certainly not the best, Fitzsimmons, Lewis, Joshua, Fury
Fury.... yeah right..😂😂😂
Just thing hear mate don’t ask me ask people who really know and see where joe Louis is ranked as the greatest heavyweight s how boy gave him all he needed … Joshua been knocked in sparring by cruiser wieghts.. this man had not been down in 3000 rounds of fighting can’t agree my friend .. butt respect your opinion
Love Tommy but after the Louis fight he lost 4 straight fights @@cushtytv1006
Fury @@nigelbase1196
The " Tonypany Terror " not Terrier ffs 😂
The Premise of this vid is that supposedly this guy was the toughest British heavyweight! What BS! Any boxing fan knows that Lennox Lewis is easily the greatest British heavyweight boxer of all time and perhaps might be the greatest (or one of the greatest) boxers of all time! NOT THIS PUG!
Robert how rude toward s our great Tommy totally disrespectful to that great British warrior.. a much better chin than the Canadian heavyweight ll if not better definitely tougher ..
Its pronounced Ton Y Pandy
I’ve since learned that 😀🤙
