As Murray Thompson's enterprises sell
videos to boxers, their families and fans alike we have been
requested quite some time ago to not place online any more
videos of fights. YV does not see any logic in this as the
videos are in very small screen size and only good for
promotional reasons and is of the opinion that anybody that
likes them would only be too glad to pay for the full screen
size professional
video.

BOXING'S CURRENT MAJOR
SANCTIONING BODIES
"RATINGS"-"RESULTS"-"SCHEDULES"
I made my major impression in boxing
in 1960 through sparring and training
with this colourful boxer from the
UK
This is when I truly became a fighter,
I was previously ringshy and finally
discovered I could punch hard.
He introduced rock and roll music
while training in Snowy Sullivan's
gym.
Hope you are well Johnny - I wish
you all the best anyone can get.
My boxing experiences with you led
me to achieve the PPBA most improved
fighter of the year during 1960.
I was his main sparring partner and
he was mine. What I learned from Johnny
was how to combine fighting with boxing.
If you ever see this, Johnny, make
sure you contact me. Johnny Butterworth
had returned to the UK (Rochdale)
10th December 2006
I have recently been contacted by
his nephew Colin Johnson and he told
me that Johnny was his uncle and that
Johnny is still alive and happily
spends his time at the pub from 11:
00am every day which is common in
the UK as its a social thing.
I have placed this movie so Johnny
can see himself fighting a very loved
by me and fans alike Aussie champion
George Bracken.
Johnny
Butterworth
George
Edwards - RIP - usher at the Stadium attended
to opening, timekeeping and closing Snowy's
gym.
We arrived
in many wet and cold winter training sessions
by ourselves, no sparring partners, George
always showed up.
Snowy Sullivan
- RIP (William Peter "Snowy" Sullivan)
Young Victor says - My trainer was
very larrikin like with cheeky blue
eyes and liked his drink, he had a
very nice family, very clean, well
kept and held his job, he was a
forklift driver at the government
printing office in North Melbourne for
a long time where nobody seemed to
know he was associated with boxing, he
always kept his family very private
from his boxing life.
He arrived
every Friday night at Festival Hall dressed
immaculately in a dark suit with
a white shirt and bow tie, he sat right
next to Bill Read the matchmaker in the
weighing room with Norm Foster then a
young man learning to be a matchmaker,
I also used this as my dressing room,
I saw all the boxers billed to fight on
Friday nights getting officially weighed
in. ( with some funny remarks made by
boxers to their opponents whenever they
ran into one another and heard some great
threats )
At about
the time when I went to Laurie Schwind
to train for my last fight, Snowy had
told the Stadium promoters I was having
"feints" in the gym. ( whatever feints
were, according to Ambrose Palmer whom
told me personally ) This was totally
untrue and I suspect he made it up as
he was personally fond of me, and did
not want me to go on with boxing in case
of getting seriously hurt. He had indicated
to me that although I did not have many
fights, the ones I had were very hard.
This also explains why my last fight was
in the country ( Benalla ) and not at
the stadium.
God
Bless you Snowy because we were good friends
and I always knew we had a soft spot within
us for one another and I stuck by him.
But I
loved the man, there was something
about Snowy, I was begged to leave him
and get what they called a proper
trainer but keeping in mind what I did
after boxing it was for the better.
Young Victor's mission
is bringing boxers of the past and present
some enjoyment from boxing news, help,
information, memorable stories and advice
from existing resources as well as keeping
you in touch with his contributions to
the Great Game of Boxing.

Young Griffo, boxing’s forgotten genius:
Born in Australia and buried in the Bronx
05.12.05 - By MIKE CASEY: The story goes
that when Young Griffo was in the premature
autumn of his incredible life and ever
more dependent on his famous love of alcohol,
he would keep himself in drinks by spreading
a handkerchief on the floor of his local
saloon, placing a foot on one corner,
and challenging any man in the bar to
punch him off it....

About this website:
This
website went on line 25th Jan 2002 as
Young Victor (then a personal site) it
quickly developed into a full blown
boxing site. "Young Victor Boxing"
first registered - 8th Dec 2004 as a
Boxing website following into a Boxing
News & Media site.
This website allows
anything to be copied as Young Victor
is of the opinion that Boxing benefits
from other boxing enthusiasts using what
they need which in turn helps boxing remain
the gallant sport it has always been,
the only condition is that anything copied
is used sensibly and not offensive to
anyone. PLEASE
NOTE: Photos that belong to other professional
photographers are marked as such and must
not be copied. In
Boxing Young Victor usually uses old
time "fighters lingo" phrases and
remarks with seemingly little care for spelling.
Lynette a major contributor by staying
fast behind the editor of the site.
