I was reading the book "leadbelly" and the main character of "underbelly".

Alphonso Gangitano. Apparently bashed Barry Michaels in a street fight. Barry admitted he was beaten savagely and the bashing cost him a second world title.

This Alphonso guy must have been very strong.

Not necessarily dude, Barry Michael was a super featherweight/lightweight, not exactly a big guy and the street is not a boxing ring, anything goes. If Gangitano got the first one in and made it count Barry would have been in a world of trouble.

I like Vince Colosimo though, he played the part really well. But if even half of that show is true Alphonse deserved everything he got, absolute scumbag. That scene in the sports club where he was bashing people at random was pretty disturbing, especially the chicks getting belted.

Gangitano was Lester Elllis' manager/bodyguard/advisor etc. Apparantly, Gangi, Lester and their people ran into Barry at 'Notorious' Bombay Rock Nightclub and Al and his crew beat the living suitcase out of him before Barry was suppose to fight severely breaking his nose which required multiple operations to fix ultimately costing Barry a World Title and the rest that comes with it. Gangitano was tough when he had 15 people to back him up. If he and Barry went one on one Barry would whoop him bad!

I wasn't aware Lester associated himself with those guys, my opinion of him just plummeted. For a professional fighter to do that to another pro on the street is just plain disgusting.

Dude, Vince Colosimo?

His acting was top notch as Gangitano.

I got some fans of the sopranos to watch it and they thought he was fantastic.

It wasn't a one on one fight, it was Alphonse and three or four of his mates jumping him.

Didn't really like the second series, dropped it after a while. The first one was great and the third one was ok.

Its not bad, obviously not as good as the good yank shows, but its decent for Australian TV. Now that they are over I wouldn't suggest going back and watching them.

When the show first started I assumed it was going to be like other cop/crime shows like Blue Heelers, so I never watched an episode.

Haha, what? You thought it was going to be like Blue Heelers? Isn't that show pretty much a soapie? Underbelly is about mass-murdering underground criminals.

Well you know simlar Australian crime/cop shows like that.

Blue Heelers was the only one I could think of at the time.

Yeah, the cops really didn't play that much of a role in the first Underbelly. It was less about the corruption of the force and more about the criminals themselves. The cops were in it more in the second and particularly the third series.

I'm too cheap to buy the DVD so I'll probably never watch the show.
