    Without peeking, I know for sure Kracken was one of them. I'm going to guess that either Delaney, Massera, Perroni, or Poredo was the other one...and I'm leaning toward Massera.

    Does that mean Janitor is right on Perroni? It could have been Perroni.

    Louis was fed to the wolves early on. Jack Kranz was an undefeated 13-0. Al Delaney was 17-1. Adolph Wiater was 16-1(very close fight. Louis said he bloodied up his nose)..these are not easy guys to face in ur 4th, 6th, and 7th pro fights.

    Adolph Waiter cracked Louis's molar and Louis said that he nearly went down. Only the knockdown of Waiter sealed the fight for Louis.
