Vic Faulkner vs Leon Fortuna

Reader James Knight kindly sent in these digital camera photographs, taken from a TV screen.
The bout was on an old tape, hence the picture quality. The bout, though, was an interesting one:

Leon Fortuna "The Friendly Islander" - who never smiled! Up against "always smiling" Vic Faulkner Faulkner takes charge ... ... and starts working on Fortuna's legs


Vic tries for a submission with a single leg boston Leon retaliates with some leg work of his own "Open wide" - Faulkner goes for a leg spread Faulkner grins, but Fortuna finds it a pain


Leon on the offensive almost gains the single fall required for victory Faulkner returns the compliment ... Fortuna once more goes to work on Faulkner's legs Faulkner again responds in kind


A simple self-strangle hold leads to ... ... an easy winning pinfall for Faulkner Something more for him to smile about!

Many thanks to James Knight for these pictures
