I believe Sonny's first pro show was here in Australia in the late 1980's. The show featured Robby Robinson (1st) and Gary Strydon in second. Another Australian pro, Ian Riley, also made in debut in that show.
I was with Sonny in 1995 when he won the Masters Olympia. He was so happy, but didn't want to celebrate too hard, because he competed in the Olympia the following evening. I really enjoyed listerning to the stories he would tell after training at Doherty's.
He was a good friend.
