Manny Pacquiao, the bloodied and vanquished champion, insisted on a Brisbane rematch as a clause in his contract for the fight.

And after the fight Pacquiao said he would “absolutely” return to Brisbane for a rematch.

“We have a clause for a rematch. No problem.

Hey whale, how's that insistence on a rematch going?

Custards Coleman , the measuring stick. ( drunken bum )    I recall twice he was KO'd in the 15th round = once by the Elley Bennet.
I drove 250K to watch a Bennet Fight once ( Sydney Stadium ) .
he got into the ring as fat as a prime steer and did nothing . Elley was Aboriginal ,   He could fight all right but was about as reliable as my poodle.
One of the best records of Australian boxing was Trevor King ( who beat Bennet ) He won over 60 bouts for one loss ( which he overturned in a rematch ).    Trevor had his career ended by a motor cycle accident.    Mike Willesee did a This is your Life on him in 1975.
I was there actually. Trevor is still going OK near Windsor NSW aged 87   

Hi ya Cabo, just read a great story on Tommy Burns in the SMH dated Feb. 2011, you may like to read it sometime ( if you haven't already) what a man, what a tale, in our boxing hall of fame and thoroughly deserves to be, none of these blokes left sadly.

Cheers carioca, i will read it mate. And i'l see if i can find a long written article on young griffo that i read sometime back. Fantastic article

The Horndog can really talk up a fight- Ali, Mayweather and McGregor have nothing on him in that respect.

My old man was a good sketch artist, and did a good one of Elly Bennett in charcoal or pencil, I have somewhere.

No TV ..   Leichardt & the old tin shed ( Sydney Stadium ) every week. Boxing was big In those days. Monday & Friday from memory . SS was demolished about 50 years ago. Max , That sketch of Elley Bennet may be a goldmine .      He was one of the best known of all time . Jimmy Caruthers relieved him of his title .    Anything like that " Aboriginal " I would think is valuable. His tragic life   .   He was a fine looking man Elley Bennet

I will see if I can find it, and scan it, and post it here, if possible.

BTW . I think Alfie Webster was in the heavier divisions.
