i was wondering what is your favourite fight involving an australian boxer mine is fenech vs villasana
Robbie Peden V Nate Campbell 2 Went to see this and just being there in a small audience to see Campbell get thrashed was ****ing awesome.....
Tszyu v Judah, Harding v Andries, Fenech v Nelson 2 - watching a fully fit & focused champion like Nelson do the unspeakable at the time to a prime Fenech.
Old; Rose V Castillo & Famachon V Harada 2 Mid. S Taylor V Cory Johnson. Mod. Green V Lucas. Mirovic V Calloway Sweet. KT V Grove & Judah Club. Wills V Vella & Clenshaw V several
**** how could I forget those wars Kegsy. Briggsy had to run into one of the best fighters around at the time didn't he. I bet he wished he fought Stipe Drews for the world title!
So many good ones to choose from - but amongst them: Rose vs Harada Ellis vs Michael (was fortunate to have been there at Festival Hall). Kostya vs The Chicken Walker. Fenech vs Villasana. Michael vs 'Earthquake' Carter. 'Hitman' Harding vs Andries.
My 2 favourites are Jeff Harding vs Christophe Tiozzo & Danny Green vs Eric Lucas, they both went in as underdogs in the other guys back yard & caused an upset by knocking out the hometown hero! They hold special memories for me as I was lucky enough to be a training/sparring partner for Harding & an assistant coach with Greeny for these fights. Great atmosphere, the reception Greeny got from 20,000 Canadians as he walked to the ring was unbelieveable! Birchy
