    Just a thread for me and any to leave the occasional question. Resist the urge to cheat keep it fun but it’s an honour system really. If I’ve got anything mixed up please correct me.

    Who was Frankie Carbo’s first fighter?

    I’ve no idea but posting to let you know you haven’t been ignored.

    We’re all too honest - we’re not looking it up.

    Okay, while I’m here, another guess - Tony De Marco?

    Should I start unfurling my acceptance speech? :D

    Thanks Pugguy. The answer is Babe Risko… I’ll think of a new question and try again.

    Barbados Joe worked as a @janitor :D at MSG - maybe they met when Arnold had a fight there - if he ever fought under that name?

    Otherwise, same place for whatever reason before Arnold’s name change?

    Afraid not. Much earlier in his career.

    This will probably be an easy one for someone out there, but as far as I know (set me straight if I’m wrong here) only once in history have three brothers all fought on the same card in Madison Square Garden.

    So …

    1) Who were they?

    2) How did they fare?

    3) What did two of their opponents have in common?
