    I'll have a punt and say George Bracken - but I'll quite likely be wrong.

    Reckon Bobby Sinn will know.

    Seen the pic a thousand times.. can't find it now in books etc. I have a feeling the man with Lionel is one of the great Italians from the late 1950s.

    Hofguy will know.

    Right nationality Bobby. It was Bruno Visintin, who had three stays here in 1954,
    1956-57, & 1960-61.

    On a side note Hofguy, boxrec doesn't mention the Johnny Cooper/ Augustin Argote bout. I know these two boxed, as Cooper mentioned it frequently... Argote's Grand Daughter was a friend in the 90's.

    Bobby, where did the fight take place? Was it at West Melbourne Stadium or at one of the town halls the Past & Present Boxers used when they were promoting after the Stadium burnt down?
