His father Hiram was part Choctaw, and his mother Celia was part Cherokee. That heritage is obvious in his coloring and his features. During the...
Ray had just knocked out Green in a lethal way, and obtained a tremendous 15 round experience against Benitez. He was the bigger, younger man....
He's a half breed Choctaw "Injun." (I guess today we call them "Native Americans." In other words, "a savage.")
He might share my 15 round bigotry, or the same sharp disdain for the nature of Lennox's one punch defeats. It also bears endless repeating that...

Hell, no. Joe flattened Paulino with a single shot, and set it up beautifully. It's also a fact that Galento had not been decked in over 100...
