Know your fellow poster

Where abouts in Vic?

 

I'm sure if Cowboy had the contacts he could find him, surely it can't be that hard :-D

 

The original home of Australias worst beer, Castlemaine.

 

Cheers I'm from Swan Hill, on the good old Murray River.

 

It could be the same bloke but I doubt it the way your describing him... The Cowboy is Brother to Aust Heavyweight Champ Col Wilson they had a Exibition fight a few years ago... Not much exibition about it they didn't hold back and the Cowboy 75kg really gave it to his 116kg brother..... and the crap about fighting for a meal we make what most people make a week... In one night.

 

well he actually asked me to track him down :? he's got me stumped

 

Cheers mate, though the bit about fighting for the meal is how they potrayed it in the doco, he basically rocked up to some settlement and that was his offer...though about halfway through I could see he was playing it up for the film crew, so a little a bit of exaggeration for 'the meal' segment could be explained there. Will check out your youtube link when I have time, always wanted to see a tent show since I was a kid.

 

Everybody who talks to me after a show always says how much they enjoyed it and always come back to the next show. We all have great jobs away from the boxing tent, we just fight in the tent beacuse we enjoy it, and enjoy the people.

 

So do you travel around Oz? what states? How many weekends a year do you fight? Ever been beaten in the tent mate?

 

Only in QLD not allowed to fight in any other state. the 2 main places we fight every year are Mt Isa Rodeo and the Birdsville races we pop up to a few other places. I've had a few really hard fights but I've never lost, but there is the odd fight that I think I've done enough to win without killing the bloke and Fred will call it a draw just to keep the crowed happy, I still call it a win but

 

Sapphire mate, good news and bad news.


Good, have tracked your mate McLennan.


Bad, if you want to see him you'll have to buy a plane ticket!
