how many good fighters did the old boxing tents throw up?

Jeff Malcolm ?
Matt Ropis ?

 

kenny bowden from perth aka "the mighty atom" in the tents made it to western australia
champ and was ranked 4th in australia.his got some ****in good stories.his at the gym every morning doin weights and skipping.

 

most of the old fighters boxed in tents. Even believe Ron Richards and the likes of Bobby Sinn etc fought in tents

 

There was a thread on this a while back , type tent fighters into the search box and watch Ty get his arse handed to him ( sorry Ty couldn't help it ) lol

 

There is only one mighty atom mate .

 

I think Paul Moore & Allan Moore fought in tents.

 

there father had a boxing tent mark, spent a lot of there childhood travlin the tent circuit

 

Sean Connell spent some time fighting in the tents. Connell wasn't a world beater. But he did log wins against Les Piper, Tim Bell and Jonny Walker.

 

I know Sean & his honest approach to the tent was it was a lot harder to fight anybody that came out of the crowd that no one knew **** all about. And he was more than just a good fighter.................very understimated. I know Ty was ragggin' on the tent fight scheme some time ago so another good mate of mine.....Blair Cowboy Wilson was only to accepting to fight him...............I'll say this Ty your no fool & footage wise you go well but you would never beat Blair................I remember down Toowoomba few years back fella named Jamie Guy who was the current 175lb champ Oz champ fought Blair............lost a close decision ovr 3 rds..........disputed it............came the next night with all the hanger ongerers....even brought the Oz belt along............Blair stoppped him on the 2nd.............there you go....

 

I've read Cowboy Wilson retired undefeated in the tent. As if Ty could have ended his 500 fight winning streak

 

Yeah Fred's still got the tent going. Still a big draw where ever he rocks up.

 

freds the big draw these days , before ya fork out 25 bananas to watch the 1 minute rounds inside, just watching him go through his showmans speil on the boards is the best free entertainment in oz.

 

None.
