This is a question i don't know the anwser to , what happened to Aussie fighter phil McEnwaine , He won Gold for you in the Commonwealth in 78 ( i think) I know he turned pro in around 82 and won all five of his pro bouts in said year , Why did he stop ?
W.a.R.... good to see you back mate.... I'll give you some praise for the effort.... William sparkes, was in fact the second 'recognised' Aust M/W champ, having taken a KO victory in 63 rounds over Bill Davis, Lane cove, NSW, 1845. I guess this will be a hard pressed question to answer. The result I have, suggests, Eddie Seymour took a KO victory, against an unnamed oponent, at Belmore Park, 1844, before retireing from the game immediately. Great effort W.a.R... The top loading, BetaMax Videomachine is yours, hours of your favourite films will keep you entertained.
W.a.R.... Ali Afakasi would be this man??? Taking a sweet victory over Mattioli, and losing to Hec Thompson thrice, before and after the Mattioli victory.
Phil McElwaine was hit by a car on a roadrun I believe, he spent a longtime in hospital and when he got out started riding with a few bikie mates. I believe he had some involvement in the milperra bikie massacre and was either shot or jailed
Josey.. McElwaine, debuing in '82, was looking the goods... 5-0...inc. the NSW LH/W title. Having taken the NSW LH/W title against Gary Hubble, future OPBF LH/W Champ and National H/W Champ, McElwaine disappeared, having his last pro bout in Dec. '82. Bushboy is on the money. Will try and find some additional info.
We got a few blokes like this here in Wales mate , they go great guns for a few years then drop out of the buisness for various reasons , normally the ****, drugs , women , etc :-(
****, drugs and women....??? Geez mate, I think these three contribute to a 'happy' life. :rofl Atleast we can curtail the effects of grog. :good
Yeah, a bit of a shot from the hip that one. "A Kiwi. Born Tonga. won & lost to our goodun's" Enough information. Manny Santos, GONG!!
