Great Boxing Trilogies - Aussie ones!!

The Aussie ones aren't as easy to remember or even find, but let's see if people can add to it as we go along. I'll see if I can get the ball rolling, starting with a pair of heavyweights:


'Fearless' Fred Casey represented Australia in the 1964 Olympics and joined the pro ranks in December that year.

Casey's second fight would be the first of an exciting trilogy with a man who'd also go on to win the Australian heavyweight title, Adelaide born Foster Bibron.

Bibron won the Australian title in 1962, and Casey would win it in his 3rd pro bout in 1965.


Fred Casey and Foster Bibron's 3 meetings were as follows:

1965 - Casey winning in Brisbane by KO in round 3 of 12.

1967 - Bibron winning in Melbourne by TKO in round 2 of 12 (Casey cut eye).

1970 - Casey winning in Brisbane by TKO in round 7 of 12 (Bibron cut eye).

From the results above it's obvious the judges weren't required when it came to settling wars between this pair - they sorted it out themselves!

The final bout was for the vacant Australian heavyweight title - the other two weren't title bouts.


Come on guys let's add the Aussie trilogies as we think of them.....

 

C'mon Ced, you've been around here long enough to know there are no enforceable rules at ESB - just go for it mate.

 

A tongue-in-cheek nomination we're guessing Beaver?

But had Sammy got the nod in Wolllongong, like he could easily have, it would probably have made for a more meaningful trilogy.

 

Anything goes mate - and 'at least one Aussie' is a good criteria.

Hard to imagine anything tossing The 'Hitman' vs Andries.
