Question time..

Mate, if I give you one more clue, it will be a house of cards,
You will be fair dinkum kicking yourself when it clicks.

Oh bugger it, here goes,:| This legend beat one of ours :|

And our legend has been mentioned

 

I looked into that line aswell.

He doesnt have to have knocked out an ozzie because he would be the man who stopped the man who stopped the name we are after..Nishi knocked out a couple of fijians I think.

 

Forget Nishi :hey

 

This is as close as I have come..And it just cant be right.

Beyer decisioned Richie Woodhall unanimously...Richie stopped Vito Gaudiosi..Vito stopped Brett Beakin..

Now this is where it falls apart...I have no evidence to suggest Brett Beakin is related in anyway to 70's middleweight Ron Beekin except in two articles I have read by Nobbsy that spell Beakin as Beekin..Maybe Boxrec got the spelling wrong, maybe Tony did.

Ron Beekin has stoppage wins over Kahu Mahanga and Freddie Taupola.

Thats the best I can do and obviously it is wrong...I give up.

 

I've been wrestling with Beekin as well on the strength of Kahu Mahanga being the link man - you may be closer than you think??

 

Quick one.

Before Manos de Piedra / El Cholo, what was Roberto Duran known as?

 

Hands of Stone.

 

I think that was the english translation.

 

Ive read somewhere it was Rocky or something like that early in his career.

 

yep

 

good stuff mate

 

You get the Golden Galosha china :happy
It's Brett Beekin.

It could have been approached from both ends.

Kahu was a standout. I thought that would have been the first to fall.
He was only stopped 4 times, only once by an Aussie, Ronnie Beekin, Bretts father.

Working back from Beyer, we had to find an aussie connection, that was Richie Woodhall stopping Vito Gaudiosi, who stopped Brett Beekin.

Simple huh?,,, sort of. :good

Don't worry about boofhead Anton, he couldn't spell a lame horse.

 

I think Don Johnson wore a Richmond football jumper (also have a squirm in my gutty wutty that it could have been an Essendon red stripe...mmmm???), I was there that night, well several in fact; Leo Berry, his Melbourne Trainer, barracked for Collingwood, Ambrose barracked for Footscray, Johnny for Hawthorn.....

 

Q: What Middleweight sparred Fammo on TV Ringside?

Hint.....he had eight pro fights....2 fights in 1964, and 6 fights from 1968 onwards.
