  • Genius with the Samba Beat: Golden Bantam Eder Jofre Was the Complete Fighter
    Genius with the Samba beat: Golden bantam Eder Jofre was the complete fighter By Mike Casey When it finally happened, nobody could quite believe it. Eder Jofre had been beaten. It didn’t seem possible and people had begun to wonder if it was even allowed. Far from the sun-kissed shores of his native Brazil, before 12,000 wildly cheering Japanese fans at the Aichi Prefectural Gym in Nagoya, the masterful genius of a boxer who could do it all had lost his bantamweight championship to the perpetual little buzzsaw that was Masahiko ‘Fighting’ Harada. News of such cataclysmic events took an age to trickle through to the average boxing fan in the stark and simpler days of 1965. There was no Internet, no twenty-four hour news stations and no mention of boxing on the TV or radio unless Muhammad Ali had done something else to ruffle the feathers of the silent majority. When I finally saw the result in the newspaper, tucked away at the bottom of the page in the form of a two-liner, I seriously wondered if the sub-editor had lunched for a little too long at his favourite watering hole and accidentally transposed the names. Nobody expected Eder Jofre to lose to Fighting Harada, because Jofre was a genuine wonder of a fighter who didn’t lose to anyone. Not since the days of Panama Al Brown and Manuel Ortiz had a bantamweight champion looked so dominant or stood so toweringly over his peers. Eder had mastered his division with such a sublime and disciplined combination of skilful boxing and brilliantly timed power punching that old and new sages alike were hailing him as a Sugar Ray Robinson in miniature.

  • Lionel Rose: Battler Who United Australia
    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lionel Rose: battler who united Australia Lionel Rose unified the nation more powerfully than Bradman, if more briefly — Bradman never had 250,000 cheering him through the streets. Australian Lionel Rose was the first Indigenous boxer to win a world title in Japan in 1968. By Will Swanton From Combat Sport July 3, 2021 Lionel Rose met Paul Keating. Snipped him for a hundred. The Prime Minister reckoned he never carried any cash. Rose persisted. Did him slowly. Come on, mate. Can’t you spare a lousy hundred for a battler? Larrikinism abounded in Australia’s sporting stars of the 1960s and 1970s. Rose, Dawn Fraser, John Newcombe, larger than-life characters. It was the 1990s by the time Rose hit Keating where it hurt. The hip-pocket. Mischievousness was alive and kicking in Rose, and part of the reason for the request, but he needed the dough, too. Keating rolled his eyes, grinned, eventually threw in the towel. He grabbed the money from elsewhere and handed it over. Thanks, Rose said. And while you’re at it, do more to help Aboriginal Australia. 2 “Got the Prime Minister for a hundred!” laughs Rose’s first cousin, Graeme “Porky” Brooke. “He got three Prime Ministers like that. What a man he was. The happiest man you ever saw. My hero. My idol. He was a joy. You’ve never seen anyone like him. He had a laugh, he had a good time, we all know that. Lionel Rose turns to embrace Fighting Harada “But he cared about people more than any man I have ever known.

    691 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 11 May 2011 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. HEALTH SERVICES AMENDMENT (LOCAL HEALTH DISTRICTS AND BOARDS) BILL 2011 Message received from the Legislative Council returning the bill without amendment. TRIBUTE TO LIONEL ROSE, MBE Debate resumed from 10 May 2011. Mr BRYAN DOYLE (Campbelltown) [10.01 a.m.]: I speak on the condolence motion for a great Australian, Lionel Rose. I remember as a young fellow at Greenacre listening to the call of that great fight between Lionel Rose and Fighting Harada. It could be said that one thing applies to all of us: the quality of a man's life is often best remembered by his best moment. Lionel Rose was a young fellow representing his country in a sport that is often a representation of life. If you are a boxer alone in a ring with an opponent who can do you harm, you will be struck; and, even if you hit back with one of your best efforts it may still have no effect. Lionel's was a huge achievement: he took on Fighting Harada, who was recognised as one of the best exponents of his sport in the world, and defeated him. It was such a quality victory on the world stage overseas. It was a huge achievement. As I said in my inaugural speech, when I was a youngster I thought that everyone was Australian. It was not until I grew older that I found that people had different backgrounds.

  • The Boy from Burnbank
    THE BOY FROM BURNBANK Burnbank was a small Lanarkshire mining village which is now part of Hamilton. Yet inside two decades this nondescript place gave birth to two of the biggest legends of Scottish sport of the 20th century, First was the football player and later manager, Jock Stein, whose career spanned over four decades, from signing professional forms with Albion Rovers in November 1942 to his tragic and untimely death while Scotland manager during a World Cup qualifier with Wales in Cardiff in September 1985. In 1966 Stein was at the height of his managerial powers, taking Celtic to their first league championship win for twelve years (when Stein himself had been club captain) and starting out later in the year on the road which would lead to glory in the Lisbon sunshine the following May when Celtic became the first British club to win the European Cup. But if 1967 was the year of Stein’s greatest success then 1966 was the year in which another son of Burnbank carved his name into the annals of sporting glory. Walter McGowan was born on October 13th 1942, a month before Stein set out on his long and distinguished career. McGowan was the son of Thomas McGowan, a miner who fought under the pseudonym of ‘Joe Gans’ as a tribute to the great African-American lightweight of that name who rose to prominence in the early 1900s. Although initially setting his sights on becoming a jockey, the younger McGowan eventually followed in his father’s footsteps. He was a successful amateur, losing just twice in 124 bouts and winning the ABA flyweight title in 1961.

  • To Download LIONEL Study Guide
    L ionel SCREEN EDUCATION A STUDY GUIDE BY KATE RAYNOR http://www.metromagazine.com.au1 http://www.theeducationshop.com.au Lionel here was a time when boxer Lionel Rose was the best-known Aboriginal Australian in the world. T In 1968 Lionel beat Japan’s Fighting Harada to become the youngest person ever to win a World Boxing title. When he returned victorious from Tokyo, there were so many people crowding the tarmac to welcome home their champion, the modest Rose thought the Beatles must have been on the plane with him! 250,000 people surged through the streets of Melbourne to celebrate his achievement. Lionel’s story includes an amazing number of firsts: he was Australia’s youngest and first Aboriginal boxer to win a world crown; he was the first Aborigine to be honoured as Australian of the Year; and the first Aborigine to be awarded an MBE. His early life was less than auspicious. He grew up poor in Jackson’s Track, East Victoria, one of the few Aboriginal communities to elude government intervention in that era. It’s a place that he says now has ‘lots of memories and lots of snakes’. Lionel was one of nine children, and life was hard. His father, a carnival fighter, began teaching Lionel boxing’s ‘fundamentals’ from about the age of six. They improvised training equipment, long punching sessions with old flour bags filled with sand – he says no wonder his knuckles are ‘crook’ now. But while no-one could have imagined a future world champion was growing up in this bush setting – skipping school and shooting rabbits – Lionel was, from his earliest days, marked by power and determination.

  • Medium at Large: Case Studies of Japan's Biggest Fighters
    Medium at Large: Case Studies of Japan’s Biggest Fighters Loren Goodman Middleweights in Japan are different than middleweights anywhere else in the world because of an arbitrary rule imposed by the JBC1: no boxers are ranked above middleweight (160 lbs). This results in an unusual mind frame: since they are the heaviest class, middleweights are “the heavyweights” of Japan, and are thus expected to fight “like heavyweights.” To the Japanese, this means with power: hard, dramatic punches, and little or no movement or technique. The JBC rule also forces anyone seriously interested in boxing to get down to 160 lbs, which has resulted in some interesting figures (huge, dehydrated middle- weights) and weight-loss behavior. Although Japanese middleweights are ex- pected to provide the explosive spectacle of stereotypical heavyweights, they are forced to adhere to the weight restrictions imposed upon every other class (true heavyweights have no weight restriction; they must simply be above 200 lbs). Although there are a handful of heavyweight boxers in Japan, one reason the JBC imposes the middleweight limit is that there are very few boxers at the higher weights. At this time, there are less than sixty active middleweight boxers in the country. Though the JBC ranks the top twelve boxers in the country at each weight class, the middleweight class sometimes has less than twelve ranked boxers, because the JBC cannot designate twelve boxers who they feel meet the quality level necessary to enter the national rankings. This reveals another pecu- liar characteristic of Japanese middleweights: they are forced to fight within a very small pool of competition.
