	Widow vows to knock-out Carlyle's Benny Lynch film - [Sunday Herald]
		Robert Lynch, 65, said the family are particularly upset by the likely depiction of his father in Bryden's film, based on his play in which the boxer is shown as a dishevelled figure rummaging through dustbins for food, with his trousers held up by string.
		Lynch added that over the years the family have had to endure around 10 different versions about how the boxer died, including one where he broke into a bar and drank himself to death.
		Lynch -- who was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame in 1998 -- was born into the grinding poverty of Glasgow's Gorbals district in 1913 and turned professional in 1931.

	Benny Lynch
		Benny Lynch of Glasgow is now the undisputed flyweight champion of the world.
		Benny has always been noted as a fighter depending mostly on a big punch to bring him victory, but on his display to-night he surprised his most ardent admirers by the way he boxed and brought into play a clever craftsmanship.
		Lynch throughout was the aggressor, and although he failed to land a knock-out punch, he obviously worried Montana with wicked lefts and rights to the body.

		Born in Florence Street in the Gorbals on 12 April 1913, Lynch became the most controversial British sportsman of the 1930s, inadvertently setting the template for the flawed, tragic genius during a brilliant career that was terminated just as he should have been reaching his peak.
		Lynch regularly struggled to make the 112lb weight limit and lost his title on the scales in 1938, stripped for being an astonishing six-and-a-half pounds overweight for a defence against Jackie Jurich.

		The closest Lynch came was in round 10 when "for a few seconds Montana seemed to wobble" after a right-left combination "but he quickly recovered and was again shooting out his straight left and ducking and weaving away from further trouble".
		Lynch's decline was as swift as it was sad.

		Benny Lynch remains a Scottish legend almost 70 years after a crowd of 20,000 crammed into Glasgow Central Station to greet the little man from the Gorbals who had won the world flyweight crown.
		For Lynch, already a hardened drinker, the glory days were all too brief.
		The comparison with Lynch is particularly apt as Frank Maloney, Harrison's manager, has frequently described the former joiner from Cambuslang as a throwback: the type of stark, fighting man of whom Lynch would undoubtedly have approved.

		That October, Lynch retained his title with a thrilling 13th round knockout over Peter Kane in Glasgow, but his life was in freefall now and he forfeited his title when scaling an incredible seven pounds over the weight limit for a scheduled defence against Jackie Jurich in June 1938.
