Taylor vs Yannick. May 13. Melbourne.

Not at all. I like him & most certainly appreciate his achievements in bygone years. In recent years, all I've seen is anxiety in the ring hoping a win, so he can go on & maybe recover some of the $$$$$$ he lost while associated with rip-off merchant Caradonna.

 

Not at all. Love the bloke. Without him, IBF Pan Pac titles would now be history & Ray Wheatley most probably be now wearing same red tie he did 20 years ago.

 

I overheard a conversation that claimed he hasn't trained properly since he beat Bramble. Thats why he started running out of gas after six or seven rounds! Kostya went ten and Taylor stopped him in 90 sec. Such a waste. His first ten pro fights he improved so much and then all over the place.

 

Don't forget the red hanky.

 

I got him a couple of months' work as a labourer at the end of last year, will get him on some where again this year, he's a genuine character:rofl The man earned his pay, not a bad worker at all, the hare and the tortoise is how we described him.

 

Doesn't mind a drop or two of a good red either.

 

Indeed, I look forward to having a red with him at the fights. He's also partial to a Stella Artois, or as he likes to call it, stellar artis, i often enjoy one with the old boy at the Prahran Market, we both go there to get our sea food supplies from Nick Lantouris and his dad at Theo And Sons. best sea food in Melbourne.

 

Crownies are just the top third of the vat of Fosters, used to be the top third of Ballarat Ale until they stopped making Ballarat Berties.

 

Off Topic
What was the name of the joint on St Kilda junction yonks ago, which was "the joint" for hamburgers??

 

Greasy Joe's.

I've always preferred Andrews in Albert Park.

 

Greasy Joe's was opened by Faisal Fayad's dad. Andrew's would have one of the best burgers in Melbourne.

 

Them were the good ol' days when involved with rock bands. At end of night's work, we headed for Greasy Joe's
Taxi Club (off Burke St near 3UZ) after hours was good too
