The
Passing Of A Legend
By Craig Waller
(AUG 14) Australian boxing has lost one of it's most treasured and
resected fighters in the form of The great Vic Patrick on Friday
11th August 2006.
The former Australian Lightweight and Welterweight Champion fort some of
Australia's best during his boxing career. Some of the greats that come
to mind is Freddy Dawson, Tommy Burns, Tommy Johns and Rush Milling to
name a few. Vic also became the countries most respected Referee after
his colourful fighting career.
Vic's service is to be held at Rookwood Cemetery on Wednesday 16th
August at 10:45am.
On behalf of all Australian boxing fans and participants I send heart
felt condolences to the Patrick family in this sad time of grieving.
Young Victor offers his condolences to a great Aussie Legend
Vic Patrick was one of the greatest champions of all times and fought
the likes of Freddy Dawson and other greats. (more will be shown here
about Vic)
Pride of fighting under the jurisdiction of this great man overcame my
feelings of my loss to Kevin Bell in unusual circumstances.
In the legendry Sydney Stadium, the old "tin shed", at Rushcutters Bay
listed for 12 rounds where the fight took place, Vic Patrick gave the
pat to Bell without applying a count during the sixth round, much to the
amazement of the usually local one-eyed Sydney fans. They responded by a
huge booing to their local fighter and referee as I had floored Bell
three times twice for counts and once with the bell coming to his
rescue. source: Press Release |
