Delboy Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Well done Derek,as you will know Walter had 124 amateur fights and only lost 2, one I was at he lost to Danny Lee snr from Greenock but as pros Walter beat Danny in Australia,would you know who the other amateur was who beat Walter,i have asked this plenty times but never found out who it was yet,so you might just be the man I hope.[/quot He lost his third fight to Jackie Brown on points, but then continued to build up an impressive list of wins. In his tenth fight he fought Jackie Brown for the British and Commonwealth flyweight titles. The fight was in May 1963 at the Ice rink, Paisley, and Mcgowan won by a knockout in the twelfth round.
