I'd be looking for action preceding his plane crash, like this rare clip (not great quality footage, but essential viewing like 1940s Robinson):...
Ya know, I'm just here for McVey versus Mendoza.:pop
Maybe Sal Bartolo III, on June 7, 1946. Willie unified the World FW Championship in this one, and it was Pep's last title fight before the plane...
Understood. I was specifically alluding to your cautionary mention that, "overdue it and you'll start having heart palpitations and get KTFO" My...
Thank you that first hand feedback. Now, I'm speculating here that Pryor may have an increased genetic tolerance to accelerants like ephedrine...
I think Conn and Tunney clearly had more proven chins and far superior power to Loughran, although Tommy was a better boxer than either. Max...
Mickey wrote that when Harry staggered him, "Greb was crawling all over me," in my mind the most lucid description contained in Walker's entire...
Also a damned shame the radio broadcast wasn't recorded. That's what really gets me. Greb-Tunney I and Greb-Walker were BOTH filmed and broadcast...
The camera doesn't blink. After what Ross did at Guadalcanal and after, it's amazing this story survived WW II. If bullets and morphine addiction...
Agreed, but certainly stamina is extended considerably when competing ten, 12 or 15 rounds at a time, and training for those longer distances....
Ranquello is his definitive jabbing performance as I see it, splashing one after another into Ramon's face until it was splashed red. (And having...
No, I believe he caught lightning in a bottle when he decked Larry. I never saw him execute a punch remotely resembling that one except for when...
Strange match, like a lot of Renaldo's bouts. Eddie never took a backwards step, just plodded after Snipes dancing around the ring perimeter. At...
Crushed pseudoephedrine, maybe crushed ephedrine, maybe crushed clenbuterol. Albuterol has been suggested, but seems unlikely. I used a Ventolin...
Did win 34 of 36 minutes contested in that one. Not the best ever, but because of Earnie's aggressiveness, nobody else ever dominated him on the...
