Anyone from Canada remember Willie Dewitt?

[meanmoe]

My first big live boxing card was Dewitt vs, Smokin' Bert Cooper. It was aired on ABC (I think) and was Willie's big step up in pros, he was a Silver Medalist at the LA Olympics in 1984.

Just wondering, if any remembers this Canadian Boxer?

I'm not Canadian but i have that fight on Tape. cooper stomped him so bad, broke his nose and made a bloody mess of poor Dewitt. I think they fought in saskatchewan on CBS.

Yeah, Regina, pronounced like Vagina, Saskatchewan, my hometown. I was there, my Dad paid over $100 for 2 tickets in the stands in the late 80s. Yeah, Willie got stomped. It was his test, and he failed. He was never the same after, either. Any chance that fight could be converted for transfer to a PC?

I remember Willie. He grew up in Alberta. I can't remember where it was. May of been Red Deer or lethbridge. It was a **** town if I remember.

Me and my pops talk about him from time to time.

Grand Prairie, Alberta. He's a corporate lawyer in Calgary at this time.

There ya go.

I remember he had alot of brains. Boxing (at least the pro game) obviously wasn't for him.

Yeah, I remember him. My social teacher used to spar with him on a regular basis. Big, big dude.

You would have to tell me how to transfer vhs onto the computer and then to **********. It's a total beatdown, its pretty funny. Everytime he goes down the whole crowd gives that " **** we paid to see this bum get his ass beat" look.

i have that fight. at that time cooper looked like a promising prospect, willie was suppoused to have waxed him, but cooper went on that rally in the second. the look of dewitt's nose was sickening, blood was just gushing. it made a headline the next day, the canadian public gave willie a harsh treatment after that defeat. it was a good fight tho.

i hear willie now is a lawyer
