Herbie J Pilato

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

TYPICALLY, the end of a career is not something a boxer gets to choose. Rather, it is something forced upon them, something that often blindsides them, and something they refuse to acknowledge exists so as to avoid what it actually represents. It is not, like a fight, something they can control in any traditional sense by using their left and right hands, nor is it something that can be scheduled in advance or booked in. It is instead something that comes along when the time is right – or wrong – and proves an opponent sneakier and more durable than any other. Once it’s on you, attached to you, it stays right there, on your chest. The idea of it never leaves you alone.

Liam Davies has a way with words. “I’m quite good at saying things at certain times. I remember the night I fought Jason Cunningham. I went out with my brother to watch Owen Cooper. George [Warren, from Queensberry Promotions] came out and sat down next to me,” Davies remembered. “He was saying, ‘Big one tonight, are you ready?’ I said, ‘Never mind tonight. After tonight when I do him I want big money and I want this and I want that.’ He was saying that I had a big one in an hour. I told him to trust me. He came in the dressing room afterwards and I said, ‘I told you so.’ Really, you don’t even know yourself but you tell them what they want to hear.”
