23 July 1940
Birth of Thunder Sugiyama
He's in the A-Z
Four bouts, not five: -
Black Diamonds vs Silent Ones
John Lees v Barry Douglas
Jim Breaks vs Mick McMichael
Johnny Eagles vs Barry Cannon
Not sure of the time length of the show, I have seen some of the 1960's ones starting at 15:45, rather than 4pm, so a slightly longer show.
When you list 5 tv bouts are you saying all five were screened? And this was live, so one in the same date?
Working overseas today, David “Fit” Finlay defeated Masanobu Kurisu, in Aomori, Japan, on this day in 1983.
On our TV screens, on this day in 1966: -
The Black Diamonds, John Foley (Wigan) and Abe Ginsergh (Manchester) v The Silent Ones, Harry Kendall (London) and Mike Eagers (Sheffield) (DQ)
John Lees (Stalybridge) v Barry Douglas (Leeds) (DKO)
Jim Breaks (Bradford) The British Lightweight Champion v Mick McMichael (Doncaster)
Johnny Eagles (Manchester) (W) v Barry Cannon (Bradford)
Off to the Fairfield Halls again in 1968.
Continuing the Margate and Yarmooth theme, now in 1973:
In Yarmouth, Goldbelt Maxine drew with Honey Boy Zimba.
Torontos incredibly beat Penzecoff, must have been a final bout frolic, after the heat of Marino going down to Nagasaki.
Bob Kirkwood beat Tug Holton.
No luck for the bleached blonds in Margate as Kellett defeated Bobby Barnes, and Masambula went over against Haggetty.
Leon Fortuna beat Kellett Jr and Colin Joynson enjoyed his south coast tour beating Harry Kendall.
