I agree with The Ost. Pete Roberts v Francis Gregory does seem like a matching of the generations .
Would not have thought Roberts had been on with St Clair the elder, neat find that.
Wrestling overseas today, Prince Kumali was in winning form, beating Jose Garcia Arroyo, in Murcia, Spain, on this day in 1967.
On our TV screens, on this day in 1961: -
Dino Bravo KO Dai Sullivan
Al Brown 1-1 Abe Ginsberg
Ernie Riley 1-1 Arjit Singh
