Peter Sawyer wrote: Jim Breaks was famous as ‘Cry Baby’ Jimmy Breaks, throwing tantrums and arguing with the referee and the crowd. The crowds often threw dummies (pacifiers) at him during and after matches. His special was the vicious Breaks Special inverted armlock, twisting his opponent’s arm under almost to the armpit. He was a 5-time Middleweight Champion and briefly held the European Middleweight Belt.
