One of my most favorite small guys, he wasn’t a big hitter but he was an absolute technician in the ring.
He amassed a really impressive run of wins over such a short span of time - Harada, Sakurai, Medel, Castillo, Rudkin - & he wasn't shy about fighting on opponents' home turf either. It seems a big part of his game was lost when he couldn't suck down to BW anymore & enjoy a natural size advantage, & he didn't gain any power or sturdiness from jumping up in weight either.
Lionel Rose fan here. He was a joy to watch, love his classy boxing style. My favorite Aussie fighter alongside Fenech.
