Remember this like it was yesterday.  Lloyd's son and daughter went to the same primary school as me in Walworth, about a week after this fight he turned up at the school to pick his kids up with the belts over his shoulder and he was mobbed by all the us kids. A true South East London legend 🥊

I remember some cold winter mornings as a kid doing my paper round on.I would see Lloyd running down the Walworth rd every morning. He put the work in, total respect. That was at a time when you could get to see a mandatory defence fight between boxer's at there prime with unbeaten records, now the champ would give up one of the belts for a easier pay day.

One of the greatest performances by a british fighter abroad EVER against the best pound for pound of the time. Thanks Lloyd - stunning and never forgotten.

Awesome performance by Honeyghan, probably the best overseas performance by a British boxer

Honeyghan said that the only time he has seen Don Curry since their fight was in a Las Vegas gym. Curry was working out and after he had finished he went up to Curry and said "Do you remember me?" Curry said "Man you ruined my career" and walked away without another word.

Back again watching this masterclass for the 40th time. A legendary night for British boxing.

Honeyghan underrated fighter...loved his style and character

@8yrs old,we stayed up to watch (UK time) with Pops 💙

Curry was never the same after this .

I listened to this as I lived in Reno. I'd been shocked at Curry's power and skill in beating Colin Jones. I knew little about Honeyghan. I was amazed. Hope the Ragamuffin is doing better.

I watched this on a Saturday afternoon on BBC's "Granstand".
Nowadays you'd have to sell your car to watch a fight of this magnitude.

best performance by a british boxer over seas ever

the great legends Mickey duff reg gutterigge some fantastic memories God bless you guys

Don Curry was ‘the man’ at the time of this fight, ranked pound for pound the best fighter in the world. Nicknamed the Cobra, Curry’s left right combination was delivered at lightening speed, and very dangerously for a succession of opponents. That makes Lloyd Honeyghan’s performance on the night, even more remarkable. I was mesmerised at the time, as I saw this brilliant performance unfold. Totally took the steam away from Curry, perhaps the greatest Brutish performance on American soil, given the undeniable  quality of his unbeaten opponent.

Lloyd was a massive underdog. I remember just a small write up in the newspaper about the upcoming fight but after Lloyd won it ws full page news

I remember this fight and what a huge upset it was.  Watching it again all these years later, it’s a reminder of just how brilliantly Lloyd Honeyghan dominated the Champ. He really set about Donald Curry and gave him absolutely  no room to breathe.  You could see him literally losing the will to go on.

This was massive back then, people were saying Curry could not be beat and he's a all time great!! The Ragga muffin man had other ideas! One of my favourite fights ever!!

36 years later its still the best performance by a british fighter in a American ring , Curry at the time was ranked top pound for pound fighter by ring magazine

Honeyghan is the most underrated welterweight of all time.

I remember watching this fight live. I had told my dad we were going to see a Brit get knocked out by The Cobra. How wrong I was and how delighted to see the quality of Lloyd Honeyghan with a fantastic win.
