    While for international standard fighters a zero is deemed important for exposure, publicity and as a bargining tool to seal fights, i dont understand why the local/state/national scene feel the need to follow in suit. A stronger scene will arise if boxers feel they can take harder fights, without a couple of losses on thier record ruining thier reputation.

    Fammo lost 4 times (i think) before becoming world champion. Then went on to defeat some of the greatest fighters to ever set foot in the history of the featherweight division.

    There's a general mentality to the game and fighters records that can be fixed for the better over here.

    The Circus act needs arsed for the good too, the fact that if John "two thumbs up" Hopparte or Sonny "which sport is it this week" Williams were fighting tomorrow they'd be plastered over most media sources. Asiku actually won a title (ok IBO) and got nothing, no wonder so many get disillutioned and leave.


    Bah..

    starting to worked up now, this is nothing new anyway, i'll come back later before i really start ranting hehe

    Harry Stone (despite being American) seems to be an interesting character himself, fought for a long period in Oz.

    This is from Boxrec...


    According to Boxrec fought in Australia:

    Herb McCoy - 4 times
    Tommy Uren - 8
    Llew Edwards - 6
    Fred Kay - 10
    Fritz Holland - 3


    In his career he also fought Abe Attel, Ted Kid Lewis and Jack Britton.

    Mighty impressive stuff.

    Also seems like Chiddy got his wires crossed somewhere in his account of Darcy/Crouse that i posted. Not sure if he has his fighters or facts mixed up about the bout.

    Chiddy must have been close to 50 y/o by the time he saw Darcy vs Crouse.. add to that his long list of bouts.. a few bottles of Whiskey over the retirement years.. suddenly the wires are likely to cross..

    Klompy on CLASSIC forum seems no different.

    From the Quote above:

    Division: Lightweight
    Harry Stone, known as Hop Harry Stone because of the way he delivered his punches, fought extensively in Australia where he arrived in 1913. The Australasian Boxing Record (1924) accredites him with almost 250 bouts at the time of his arrival. He was absent from Australia from January 1914 until 1916, fighting in England and America during that time. Stone, of Hebrew heritage, had a very extensive career. He is reputed to have fought over 500 bouts before retiring. Stone in the over 200 fights entered on boxrec has yet to have a recorded KO or TKO loss--he is only the second fighter in boxing history to have over 200 recorded fights without ever suffering a K0 or TK0 loss, the other was the great Benny Valger!


    Great detective work - 200 recorded fights without ever suffering a K0 is a bloody staggering stat.
