Flash - I couldnt get there to see you in the parade. Thanks for the VIP passes you sent up though - you look good in lycra for a man so old LOL
Thanks for the honest response ref the Commonwealth title mate , But i still live in hope that talented blokes like Choc will restore it to its former glory sooner rather than later , (You tough Aussie *******s fighting for it would help ) :deal ,Btw i knew Jones was a tough guy when he beat my mate Billy Waith and another old mate of mine Horace Mac , i thought he edged out Milton Mc in their first fight for THE world title but admit he lost the rematch prior to getting cut to ribbons v the fantastic DON CURRY . You were fighting in tough times in regard to World honours .
Hey Josey...have you seen a guy called Dominic Vea fight? Hes a good CW and if he wins his next fight in April he gets a shot at the commonwealth title....forgot who against...cant remember where I saw the news. Hes AUST # 1 CW and maybe top 20 to 25 in the world
Totally agree Josey. The Commonwealth title used to be held in such high regard, would be great to see it get back to becoming more meaningful again.
I remember the fight in 1991 with Manning Galloway for WBO title, I won'ted to go, but I was 14 and my father said I would not be let in the front door. I was doing amatuer boxing then, In the late 80s, You had a bit to do with south tweed rugby league club, I went to a heap of games for years, my old man had a bit to do with them for years and you where at alot of games. 1997 julian holland v Stefan Scriggins aussie title. Jeff Malcolm v Scriggins in the crowd lol.
No i ain't seen him fight yet Ash i just read about him a few times however this is what i'm saying regarding the Commonwealth title , we all know former WBO Cruiser champ Enzo Macc is on the comeback trail and a Commonwealth title fight would be useful to have as part of said comeback , Vea v Macca would be an tidy bout imo , this title could be used as a route through to a tilt at world honours for both lads imo . A strong Commowealth champ was always in with a shout of winning THE world title back in the day .
So many fine fighters fought for it in the past mate it pains me to see that it has fallen below the level of the Inter continental trinket bollocks . ok as Bally said its all about politics these days but still i'm a tad ****ed off by its fall in world standings .
