At KINGS HALL BELLE VUE on JANUARY 27TH 1945-GEORGE GREGORY Defended
his Coveted BRITISH HEAVYWEIGHT Title against the Formidable BERT ASSIRATI!
On a Cracking Bill that Nite GREGORY was Defeated his Famed JAPANESE Wrist Locks
and a New Era in BRITISH HEAVYWEIGHT Wrestling had Dawned!!
However written into GREGORY's Title Defence Contract should he Lose was the Right
to a Return Bout for the Championship!
This also took place at the Same Venue-KINGS HALL!....
On another Cracking Nite of Wrestling this NORTHERN Mecca of the Sport Witnessed
the 2ND Title-at-Stake Collision between these Two Fighters Both at the Top of their Game!
Unfortunately for GEORGE-He proved Unable to Beat ASSIRATI and BERT went on a Long
Undefeated Run as HEAVYWEIGHT Champion!
Below-as with their First Epic Clash-I Share the Programme for ASSIRATI vs. GREGORY 2
from my Personal Collection!-Another Nite to Remember!!....
MAIN MASK
Could be, Bernard - but then why not write Boston Crab?
Bert was also famous for his Double Elbows - but again, they could just have written that.
Another minor mystery.
Considering Assirati was one of the all time greats, we know so little about him.
