Terry Lawless obituary - The Guardian

Boxing trainer and manager who produced four British world champions

John Rawling guardian.co.uk, Monday 28 December 2009 18.06 GMT

Terry Lawless, who has died aged 76, after a gall bladder operation, will be remembered as one of boxing's outstanding managers and trainers, having guided four fighters to world titles and watched two others become world champions after he had parted company with them.

His was a career that blossomed in the 1970s and 80s, in a promotional alliance with Mickey Duff, Jarvis Astaire and Mike Barrett, when Lawless became one of the most influential and respected figures in British boxing history.

His world champions were the welterweight John H Stracey, flyweight Charlie Magri, light middleweight Maurice Hope and the Scottish lightweight Jim Watt, but his name will also be forever linked with those of Lloyd Honeyghan, who became world welterweight champion after splitting with Lawless, and particularly Frank Bruno, whose career he moulded with painstaking care before they split prior to "Big Frank" winning his world heavyweight title at the fourth attempt in 1995.

It can be something of a boxing cliche to say that a trainer treated his fighters like his own sons, but few can have offered more in terms of emotional and physical support.

With his wife of 53 years, Sylvia, he would often take fighters into his own home before major bouts, reasoning that nobody was capable of attending better to their needs and that they would be mentally and psychologically honed to perfection by the time they stepped into the ring.

Lawless was born in West Ham, east London, and was a boyhood friend and later best man at the wedding of Sammy McCarthy, who would go on to become British featherweight champion.

Although Lawless never boxed himself, it was a friendship that inspired an involvement with boxing that saw him first work as a trainer and then, after completing his national service in the mid-1950s, take out a boxing manager's licence.

He and Sylvia ran a shop in Leyton, which he continued to own after boxing, but it was the Lawless gym above the Royal Oak pub in Canning Town in London's East End where he achieved his fame, employing such figures as Jimmy Tibbs, Frank Black and George Francis to work as his training team and cornermen for the fighters he managed.

Small of physique, quietly spoken and polite, Lawless had an encyclopedic knowledge of the boxing world, with a remarkable memory helping him assess fighters, their strengths and weaknesses.

He managed dozens of fighters in his career and, in addition to his formidable list of world champions, he masterminded the careers of the likes of Mark Kaylor, Kirkland Laing, Gary Mason, Horace Notice, John L Gardner and Jimmy Batten, as well as many of more limited ability.

For all of them, he was always a calm and compassionate cornerman whose concern was, above all, his fighters' safety.

Lawless's greatest work was probably in developing the strong but raw novice Bruno into a fighter of world renown.

His critics said he matched him too cautiously, but the regular appearances of Bruno on BBC Television ensured that his fighter earned a place in the sporting nation's heart even if the calibre of some opponents was questionable.

His partner Duff spoke of Lawless in his autobiography saying: "Terry's attitude to opponents was simple.

He wanted to impose a condition that they could defend themselves, but couldn't hit back.

He worried about his fighters if there was nothing to worry about," but Duff conceded: "I don't think anybody could have done a better job in Bruno's formative stage than Lawless did."

Their association ultimately led Bruno to earlier cracks at the world title, as for instance the second attempt, when he took on the then intimidating figure of Mike Tyson in Las Vegas in 1989, only to be stopped in five rounds.

Although the Lawless-Bruno partnership had broken up by the time Bruno achieved his lifetime's ambition in winning the world title, the fighter was distraught at hearing of his former mentor's death.

Watt, now a commentator with Sky, recalled a phone call he received from Lawless in 1975 shortly after Stracey had won his world title in Mexico.

Disillusioned by the lack of success in his career, Watt was told by Lawless that he could achieve more if he signed with him.

"That one phone call just completely changed my life," said Watt, who would win the world title four years later. "If Terry hadn't picked up the phone that day, I'm not under any illusions, I would never have been world champion."

Lawless's career was not without controversy, and he had to face a British Boxing Board of Control hearing after details were made public by the Sunday Times and News of the World of a profit-sharing contract that existed between Lawless, Duff, Astaire and Barrett.

** EXPLORED ** The colour of the wheat- Il colore del grano





On Explore: July 2010

'My life is very monotonous. I run after the chickens; the men run after me. All the chickens are the same, and all the men are the same. Consequently, I get a little bored. but if you tame me, my days will be as if filled with sunlight. I shall know a sound of footstep different from all the rest. Other steps make me run to earth. Yours will call me out of my foxhole like music. And besides, look over there! You see the fields of corn ? Well, I don't eat bread. Corn is of no use for me. Corn fields remind me of nothing. Which is sad! On the other hand, your hair is the colour of gold. So think how wonderful it will be when you have tamed me. The corn, which is golden, will remind me you. And I shall come to love the sound of the wind in the field of corn...."
The fox fell silent and looked steadily at the little prince for a long time.
'Please,' he said, 'tame me!' 'I should like to,' replied the little prince, 'but I don't have much time. I have friends to discover and many things to understand.'
'One only ever understands what one tames. People no longer have the time to understand anything. They buy everything ready-made from the shops. but there is no shop where friends can be bought, so people no longer have friends. If you want a friend, tame me!'
"'You have to be very patient,' replied the fox. 'First, you will sit down a short distance away from me, like that, in the grass. I shall watch you out of the corner of my eye and you will say nothing; words are the source of misunderstandings. But each day you may sit a little closer to me.'
The next day the little prince came back. 'It would have been better to come back at the same time of the day,'said the fox. 'For instance, if you come at four in the afternoon, when three o'clock strikes I shall begin to feel happy. The closer our time approaches, the happier I shall feel. By four o'clock I shall already be getting agitated and worried; I shall be discovering that happiness has its price! But if you show up at any old time, I'll never know when to start dressing my hearth for you... We all need rituals.' 'What is a ritual?' said the little prince. 'Something else that is frequently neglected,' said the fox.
It's what makes one day different from the other days, one hour different from the other hours. There is a ritual, for example, among my huntsmen. On Thursdays they dance with the village girls. So Thursday is a wonderful day for me! I can take a stroll as far as the vineyard. If the huntsmen went dancing at any old time, the days would all be the same, and I should never have a holiday.' So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the time for him to leave was approaching: 'Oh!' said the fox. 'I am going to cry,'
'It's your own fault,' said the little prince. 'I never wished you any harm; but you wanted me to tame you...' 'I know,' said the fox. 'And now you are going to cry!' said the little prince. 'I know,' said the fox. 'So you have gained nothing from it at all!'
'Yes, I have gained something,' said the fox, 'because of the colour of the corn.'
