Your posts in thread are so typical of your ******ed self Ty. How many personality changes did you go through between Post #38 and Post #150? This content is protected With all the alias' you run here it's not surprising you get so confused.
Yep thats it champ, i get on an alias to give myself sht :nut Is that poster false advertising or does Brophy have wrestling matches in his tent? cant you answer the question princess LOL.. One more for you, how many fights did Darcy have in the tents? surely if they were so popular back then a guy like Darcy would have done the rounds.
Too little too late Ty - you already lost your argument, again and again. If in doubt, or you just want to be further humiliated, read back through the thread m8. There's probably more fun to be had in logging on as one of your goony alias' - spin the wheel and choose one - Johny Drama is always worth a laugh. Perhaps start with him and work through a few from there m8 - LOL!
Add false advertising to the list of negative aspects in Tent fighting then CHB? :good im sure you would like me to belive that all one must do is win an Australian title to become a sucesss story, oh if only it was that easy CHB. Many of my points which are valid you have failed to address on a few occasions now simply because you really dont know what to say so then you call me stupid and carry on like a pork chop. Cant you have a debate and tell me all the tent fighters who went on to become world champs? your half way there champ dont give up now Australian titles, ok close.. is that all you got champ?
Look back champ he's already answered that question This is my last post in this thread this is not a debate or discussion... its quite obvious your just after attention
This content is protected Time for a different alias m8. ...how about 'ol Chop Chop, he's one of my alltime favourites!
Ron Richards was not a bad fighter Ty. Well, he was an Australian Champion anyway. He never won a world title- especially not IBO, WBF or WBA 'Interim'.... but, he was a reasonable fighter- even though he only won an Aussie Crown. Actually, he was Empire M/W champ also Actually, he was 3x Australian M/W Champ, 3x Australian H/W Champ and Australian light H/W Champ. Richards also belted the **** out of Gus Lesnevich in Sydney. Gus who? Gus Lesnevich was the World Light Heavyweight Champion for 7 years. Only ONE world champ in those days, so holding a World Crown for 7 years ain't too bad. Yes, Richards belted the **** out of Gus Lesnevich. Oh, Ron Richard also became the first man to take Archie Moore 12 rounds. Archie who? Well, Archie was World light H/W Champ from 1952-61.. he could also whack pretty hard, aparently... he did KO 129 men.. so, I guess he could whack. Well, Richards sat Archie on his arse for 9 seconds with the first right hand he threw. I guess Ronnie could punch also This was just a brief intro to Ron Richards mate. Yes, he started boxing in the tents, and his old man had a fearsome reputation as a tent fighter. Would you like a 'brief' intro to Dave Sands? He was another Aussie Champ.
If Ty This content is protected Cerminara was willing to travel from Albury to Cessnock for a 3x1min amateur fight, I don't see why he wouldn't go to Brophy's tent to prove his point.
Now thats what im talking about. How often were fighters like this a product of Tent shows Bobby Sin? i would argue that the pickings are very slim compared to whats come out from the amateurs onto the world scene.
Careful with that beak of yours Ty , What about J Wilde & J Driscoll BOTH were World title holders who learn't their trade in Skerretts Tent fighting at least 250 tent fights each prior to a career in the pros , BOTH went on to HOLD WORLD TITLES . Both had spoken about the invaluable experience gained in the tent .
Ty, you're missing point. Tent boxing is not a breeding ground of champions. It's where fighters go to have some fun. Occasionally a bit of talent rears it's head & goes on to give the pro ranks a go, & occasionally they do well. But it's pasttime not a religion that threatens anything or anyone that doesn't arise in our day to day lives.
Jim Driscoll - fought in the 1900's but never won a world title as you claim. see below and see boxrec. Jim Driscoll was a master of defense yet could mix it with the best of them. Many of his opponents would find themselves chasing his shadow as he effortlessly slipped their best punches then proceeded to give them a boxing lesson. Jim Driscoll was the master of the straight left hand punch. As with most Welsh boxers of this time, Jim Driscoll started out in the boxing booths, which were commonplace in Wales. Fighting against men of all shapes and sizes in the booths proved to be a hard grounding for any would be champion. Legend has it that he would challenge anyone to hit him on the nose while he stood on a handkerchief with his hands tied behind his back ! This content is protected , but it is testimony to the fact that he was such an exceptional boxer that he has achieved legendary status. As he lost only 3 fights in his career it is also proof that he fought in an era where hunger and poverty produced fighters of rare quality. Jimmy Wilde - fought in 1913, almost 100 years ago.. and did infact win a world title. Is there anyone else you can come up with , perhaps someone more recent? perhaps someone after the 1970s or after TV was invented?
thanks pops and i agree. Unfortunatly not eveyone will and as you can see guys like boxcon dont have a farkn clue. I never said it was the breeding ground of champions but blokes like boxcon would have me belive otherwise
