    Lookin' like Bill Lang. With Fitzsimons, Squires and Burns being the relative opponents.

    If correct I'll take the Four'n'Twenty pies please.

    Hoping that's the pies I can smell!

    Here's a new question:

    QUESTION:

    Current day Victorian boxer who won Vic State title in his 5th pro bout. Challenged unsuccessfully for Aust Title in next bout.
    Went down a division or two (approx 5 kg) next bout in winning his second Vic State Title. Has since won Aust Title at the new lower weight.

    Bill Lang fought Tommy Burns for the title in 1908.

    Jimmy Thunder is not usually classed as an Aussie...may have been at some stage...often hard to tell with some of our Samoan & NZ friends. He did fight for an alphabet title against Ruiz at one stage - probably not the one you are looking for.

    Eventually the penny dropped (I hope).....Big Bob Mirovic fought South African Botha for the interim WBF heavyweight title.
