Who's severed arm, currently resides in a glass case, on display in an Irish pub...... Pubs initials.... H O County Kildaire I believe?
The arm is currently on tour in the USA, along with a heap of other boxing artifacts. Had to 'phone a friend', 'ask the audience' and play the '50/50' to solve this one Flamengo! Ireland's first bareknuckle fight champ Dan Donnelly is the answer. As you've a Barry Michael fan here's one you'll probably eat up before anyone else: This content is protected
Well done CHB... Its usually housed in the pub called the 'Hide Out'... the arm was exhumed by gravediggers who normally sold the parts the loco Doctors. Blakeney 'kid' Matthews..... think he also had terrible gambling problems... pity, we was a crowd pleaser.
I've mentioned this before.. yet, many may have missed it... A nice peice of Oz history.. Ned Kelly beat who???? Laying claim to 'Northern Vic' heavyweight Champ??
That's one of two correct answers. Not sure how the 'Kid' actually died, but the opponent I had in mind asphyxiated himself in his car.
Fenech made his debut at Marrickville RSL (where else would it have been?). On the same card Mitrevski had a shocker, KO'ed first round by Joe Laferla (better know, if known at all, as Young Hinton). It was Hinton's first fight. He lost his second match and gave boxing away! This thread has just set a new record on the net for longest thread without 'SEX' being mentioned. Now that I've used the word we can move on....
