    100th anniversary of the birth of the great Ron Richards.

    Career record: 95 wins (KO 57) + lost 26 losses (KO 8) and 10 draws.

    There was an excellent interview on DSS' radio show earlier this week with Ron's nephew, and an equally good article appears in the May edition of FIST magazine.

    See also the ESB thread about the ceremony for Ron at Ipswitch at the weekend.

    Hall, Melbourne, Victoria.

    Russell fails in his tilt at the Commonwealth cruiserweight title, being stopped in round 11 of 12.
    Russell was another of my personal favourites. Never ever seen a boxer without a jab go further up the ranks than big Dave!

    May 9 was the birthdate of the last Australian to win 100 professional boxing contests. And he is a personal friend of Flamengo. In fact he could possibly be his only friend.
