Victorian state Super Middleweight Champion
| PORKY
TAKES VICTORIAN TITLE AT SOUTHERN STORM |
September
26, 2003
The chant started long before the fight. "Porky...Porky..."
Matt Shaw expertly disposed of wild Irishman John L Sullivan and
ended his post-win comments with "Let's Go Porky!" - a
sporting and fitting intro for the main event, and the crowd roared
their approval.
Queen's anthem "We Will Rock You" had barely begun when
the Dandenong Basketball stadium erupted - hundreds of cheering,
chanting Porky fans welcomed their hero to the ring. The atmosphere
was electric, and the enthusiasm contagious.
Daniel Lovett - a shock of blond hair, fit and focused - acknowledged
the fans and warmed up as the champ Serge Llancafilo made his entrance.
There was no disrespect from the crowd - only applause & anticipation.
The bell rang, and the war was on. Every time the challenger looked
like he might be tiring, a thunderous "Let's go Porky! Lets
GO!" echoed round the room. And go Porky did. Llancafilo's
skilled performance was not enough to stop the Porky train, or even
slow it down. A unanimous points decision, and the hand of new Victorian
Super Middleweight Champion.. Daniel "Porky" Lovett was
raised in victory. Mobile phones were everywhere around the ring
relaying the winner's speech while the cheering went on and on.
Serge Llancafilo was a true sportsman and gracious in defeat - certainly
not disgraced - but the night belonged to Porky.
Boxing as it should be. [TOP]
