    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.

    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.
