Carameliton suosikkinyrkkeilijät osa 1: Tony Halme

Uudessa kirjoitussarjassa manageri Petro Koskimies nostaa esiin itselleen tärkeitä ja ihailemiaan nyrkkeilyn ja muunkin elämän saralta olevia ihmisiä.

Ensimmäisenä vuoron saa itseoikeutetusti Tony Halme, jonka Suomen ammattinyrkkeilyyn ja muuhunkin suomalaiseen urheiluviihteeseen tuoma lisäarvo ja hypetys oli ennenkokematonta, ainutlaatuista. Halme loi itsestään ilmiön, jolla tuntui parhaimmillaan olevan lähinnä Midaksen kosketus niin levynteossa, kirjankirjoittamisessa kuin ammattinyrkkeilyssä ja muissakin kamppailulajeissa, vaikka taitoja suuresti korvattiinkin kovalla työllä!

Seuraavassa poikkeuksellisen kattava kokoelma Halmeen eri lajien otteluista. Vaikka listassa on mahdollisesti vieläkin joitain puutteita, on se kuitenkin tähän asti täydellisin Suomessa julkaistuista tilastoista.
