    In "The Professional", by W.C. Heinz, who was the inspiration for the sparring partner they bring in? He's a black guy, had a ton of fights, fought in Australia...I read this at some point but can't remember. Help?

    I thought it was compilation of many fighters who don't get the chance at tile, and the Australia thing was thrown in to show how far a guy with no connections goes to get fights. Maybe Heinz had someone in mind, I never heard of it though.
