Beautiful Family Story:
No chance of pairing boxing's father
and son, Kali and Willis Meehan, in ultimate family bout
(Please note that Kali fought Lamond Brewster and seemed
robbed for the WBO World Heavyweight Title and not his
son Willis)
Kali and Willis Meehan created history of sorts by
becoming a father-and-son combination ranked in
Australia's top 12 heavyweight fighters, but promoters,
be warned, you'll be wasting time trying to tempt the
pair to engage in what would be billed boxing's ultimate
family feud.
Kali, 44, was ranked in the Australian National Boxing
Federation's December ratings as the nation's third best
heavyweight while 19-year-old Willis, who is playing
league for the Sydney Roosters, was 11th.
Willis, who many believe was robbed of the WBO
heavyweight champion's crown when he fought Lamond
Brewster for Don King in 2004, shook his head at the
notion of ever punching-on against his "little" boy.....

Pacquiao agrees to fight Mayweather
: Arum
Manny Pacquiao flew to Los Angeles on Wednesday,
preparing for a meeting with contestants of the Miss
Universe pageant.
Whether he has an even bigger date on May 2 seems
entirely up to Floyd Mayweather.
Promoter Bob Arum said Pacquiao has agreed to all terms
for what would be boxing's richest fight ever, a bout
with Mayweather that fans have been demanding for five
years.
The question now is whether the long-reluctant
Mayweather will finally sign on the dotted line for what
could be an astonishing $US120 million ($A130 million)
payday for the fighter.
Young Victor thinks that the fight is 5 years too late
and that Mayweather will benefit by the time difference......

The message to Young Victor was:
Just received this message from the UK:
Rochdale boxing Legend Johnny Butterworth passed away last night.
Go easy on them up there Johnny and god bless you.
SEE VIDEO BRACKEN VS BUTTERWORTH
I remember we had an exhibition fight at the Frankston

Johnny was retired as he
had been banned from boxing in the UK and came over to
Australia to do pretty well beating the Australian
Champion George Bracken and fighting Aldo Pravisani,
David Oved, Alfie O'Sullivan, Steve Nitties, Auburn
Copeland. Gary Cowburn and others. he finished his
career in OZ and is recommended as an inductee to the ANBHOF by the writer Young Victor having been a sparring
partner of over 500 rounds and having improved from
fighting 3 rounders to a main event level and promised a
Vic title shot if he had won his fight with Pasquale
Cursio,
RIP - Condolences to
Johnny's family in the UK by YV and the ANBHOF and all
boxing fans in Australia having produced some of the
great fights at Festival Hall. Johnny's record.....
