Docked my pay??? Thats a bit rough.... I already cut the sleaves off the beige Cardigan so I was able to lay in the sun mate... Here's a relatively easy one for you guys... Which rising Aussie W/W's career was cut short due to a split retina during a bout in the late '60's.... Having dispatched with his oponent via a TKO7, the injury was still to great for any further bouts.
Well done Oldman, was hoping this would be snatched up pretty quickly. The sleaveless beige cardigan is yours mate.
To be honest mate, it's an inside joke. I'm just getting my own back from a $20 phone call & a flat battery the "Old Man" cost me.
Ok, I missed the joke, and the phone bill is all yours mate. In the same frame, a former TV ringside fighter, Oz champ, had a son who later started as a kickboxer, to quickly move into orthodox boxing, claiming Oz and Commonwealth titles... Who are these men????
Sounds like someone (M.R. perhaps) might have had their sports a little mixed up for a round or so. Wonder what 'ol Merv would have had to say about that happening?
Thinkin back to an earlier thread..... Oldman was exposed as M.R.... former champ??? correct??? brother of F.R????
= correct. Just working on the last question and thinking aloud: Sammy Soliman fits nicely as the son in such a scenario. But I have no clue on his dad unless he fought under a different name - should I give this idea a miss?
Yes CHB... off target... The TV Ringside boxer/Oz Champ was a crowd pleaser, all action, leary blonde in the L/W ...lW/W div... Hec took the National crown... Far too many clues.
'Must be..' exactly, I believe Leo jnr had 7 or 8 kickboxing bouts prior to Johnny Cooper taking the mantle as his trainer. The cupboard is bare, regarding prizes, please accept the cardigan sleaves..
