Reg Andrews
England Rating 1
Heavyweight 1942-53
I'm thinking someone posting a rating for this guy somewhat recently, but, couldn't find the posting. So If I duplicated someone's efforts, sorry for that. Here's my take on Andrews anyway.
35 wins / 12 losses / 4 draws / 9 KO
Hometown: Streatham, England
Birthplace: Barnehurst, Englan
Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto
Andrews started his career in 1942 with an 8 round decision over paddy Roche and then in August lost by 9th round TKO to Arthur (Ginger) Sadd. At that time Andrews then went into service during WWII for the next 2-1/2 years serving in Greece, Sicily and Italy.
In February 1945 Andrews resumed his career with a 6 round decision over Charlie Bundy. Andrews then fought over the next 8 years quite an array of the middle to upper echelon of English LHW/HW's. Victories included over Charlie Collett three times, Len Bennett twice while also fighting Bennett to a draw and one fight that ended in a NC, Ernie Woodman(and also fought him to a draw), Jack Smith, Gerry McDermott three times, Lloyd Barnett Twice, Nick Fisher, Gunnar Nilsson, Robert Eugene, Don Scott, Simon Templar, and Karel Sys.
Andrews lost to Alf Brown in February 1947 in a bout for the British (South East Area) Heavyweight Title. He also lost fights to Jack London twice, Johnny Williams, Johnny Arthur, Louw Strydom,and Mark Hart. After the win over Karel Sys in Jan. 1953 Andrews lost his last three fights that same year, first to Mark Hart and then twice was stopped by Jack Hobbs. Andrews hung the gloves up after that.
