Let it go teke, it was funny while it lasted, but you've been caught out. :yep I even got Amsterdam to compare your ip address to hers and it matched. :deal
Its pretty fun we travel around to all the big events in Qld and fight anyone who has the balls to climb the ladder... you get some pretty hard fights and you might have up to 10 fights over a weekend.
This is a link to some of my early fights in the tent if your intrested. I couldn't figure out how to put it on this page. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-jjqgKUFkg
Ah that was great to watch!!! Bloody good left hand!! Ten fights a night, you must be a hard man. Well done mate, hope to see you posting more. So do you wanna turn pro at any stage?
Hello Sapphire, I finished reading a tent boxing book not long ago by a aussie guy who lives in Amsterdam...it was a fantastic read. It sounds like a different life style for show people. Moree was mentioned alot, Les Darcy, Tony Mundine, and many more. Is there many aboriginals fighting in the tents these days?
You usually have about two fights a night but when you go somewhere like the Mt Isa Rodeo which goes for 5 days you end up having a few fights. I would love to turn pro but I don't think I'm ready yet there is still alot I need to learn, there are a few Aboriginal kids in the tent 1 is Bronco Johnson's grandson and the other is currently at the AIS learning his trade so where not all mugs like alot of people think. And as for that book "Tent Boxer" by Wayne McLennon I have read it and wouldn't wipe my arse with it! He puts **** on the Cowboy, Fred Brophy and the rest of our troupe with bull**** story's, then hides away so nobody can find him. I would love to meet the bloke and tell him what I thought of him. And the Cowboy's Trying to Hunt him down aswell.
Name; Leon Location; Perth, via Vic Fight Experience; A mate, an amatuer fighter teaching me the left jab. Then a minute later saying 'Now we spar'. He went easy on me, I was very fit then but couldn't keep up. Kept going forward. Good punching bag for him. A week later landed a huge right hook on him. Then hung on for dear life. Love the history of the game, an avid student but have not followed it for a few years. Favourite Boxers; Tommy 'Hitman' Hearns, Jeff Fenech (a godsend for those of us growing up then), Julian Jackson, Nigel Benn. Fighter I wish I'd seen; Young Grifo. Why hasn't their been a film or book on this guy? Some of the stories I've heard about this guy are too good to be true. Seems to have spent his time pissed and outboxing everyone, sometimes both. Other interests; My twin daughters. Collingwood FC (Yeah, yeah, bring on the hate)
Sapphire, saw a show on SBS a few years ago about a bloke running a troupe. Was made by the French, cant remember the main guy but he really seemed a dick, fighting two guys at once and mugging for the camera, picking up some young blokes to fight for him for not much more than a meal and generally philosophising about how he couldn't be beaten. Had a young wife and kid. Could this be the same bloke your talking about?
