For some strange reason youre the only one who posts links like these that get automatically tagged. If you want to see the photos either copy and paste the link without the tags, or Mcvey has to edit the tags out.
Terrific photos, breathes new life into the greats, Dempsey - Gibbons, Ketchel. These are great, especially coming soon after posts of colour movies of Dempsey training.
Yeah I've actually seen that before when I've quoted those links haha. It's strange. My guess is they used to auto embed photos and display the photo in the post itself without having to go to a new tab. They probably removed that for spam/abuse. But they probably never changed the auto embedding.
Ketchel was a fighter with true murderous intent in the ring. Ferocious fighter out to kill his opposition.
Read an article on him a while back, can't recall now, that he was a real bad a** at an early age. Fighting on the railroads, shot a couple people, went at it with his dad, and was a tough bouncer at age 17 .... accurate?
Read a story once that when his manager was told he'd been shot to death he replied,," just start counting 10 over him and he'll get up"... Stanley was a beast
He was a figure in the red light district in Butte, Montana, from the age of 15. The majority of his fghts were in Butte, and he was run out of town as an undesirable under the vagrancy laws of the time. He took this very personally and never mentioned Butte thereafter and became the Michigan Assassin.
