Was about to have a crack at this one Leon but reckon you've already nailed it. Hegarty KO'ed Torpedo Billy Murphy who won the world featherweight title.
If you mean did I have to trawl through boxrec while cross referencing fighters while muttering your name through clenched teeth...guilty. *****.
Bob Greenshield, another Tim Hegardy opponent, and former Australian Lightweight champ... where is he buried??? Answer this one correctly, you'll be a fkn star.

Mate, you are on the ball for a start. Bob was a Gippsland boy, until his move to Melbourne. He travelled quite a lot during his fighting years, and Gippsland still remained his home for 'solace'. I've been a friend of Alan Greenshields, his Grandson, for close to 15 years now, he lives in Inverloch. Alan's in his early '70s. Bob is actually buried in Springvale, at the Necropolis. This I was informed of this morning. Oddly enough, Alan though he was buried in Carlton, as he had a gym there.
Great find Duke! Funny where the article says 'Flash has been on Lake's tail for a shot at his title' and something like 'Lake has ruled the Islands 147 lbs throne'. Gotta think Lake had a much more extensive record than BoxRec have him listed for (ie 0 wins, 8 losses). Hard to 'rule' without actually winning a match!
How's the prize wheel looking Flamengo?? Just made the 1000th post on this thread...hey, shower me with riches!!
That's what I was thinking. Boxrec is an amazing website but obviously small pro cards have been held weekly all over the world for the past 100 years.... What got me thinking about Easy Boy Lake was the 13 years between first and last bout in boxrec and the fact that they were name fighters. I thought it may have been a pseudonym used by various fighters ala Hollywood director Alan Smithee.........
QUESTION Lost to all of the following, even though some were spirited performances: Shannan Taylor. Nader Hamdan. Sam Soliman. Anthony Mundine. Danny Green. Who is it??
