    Charles "Lulu" Constantino VS Bernard Taylor

    Over 15 rounds

    For me this goes the 15 round distance definitely but I am not sure which boxer takes the decision

    Ah, a name from the past Lulu Constantino...I saw Constantino early in his career when
    Lulu won 56 fights in a row. He came from the same neighberhood as Rocky Graziano,and was a marvelous boxer with no punch.We all were positive he would become FW champion, but a chap by the name of Willie Pep came into the picture and
    took over the featherweight division.. Don't know about Bernard Taylor to pass
    an opinion, but Lulu Constantino was a helluva boxer who came along the wrong era...

    Taylor had strong boxing ability, but like Howard Davis Jr, couldn't quite make it past the hump, plus his competition wasn't as strong.So Constantino wins, probably by decision.

    CBZ Contender
    Charles "Lulu" Constantino


    Born: February 10, 1921 New York
    Died: July 6, 1981 Far Rockaway, NY

    Professional Record: 103-27-6 (19 kayos)
    Height: 5-6
    Lulu Constantino was a light-hitting speedster, who befuddlded his opponent's with that speed. Constantino was unbeaten in his first 56 fights, before having that streak ended by Chalky Wright. Lulu ws favored in his rematch with Wright, this time for the title, but Constantino elected to run, while the busier and harder hitting Chalky Wright outworked him for a split-decision loss.

    Some of the top fighters defeated by Constantino were: Henry Hook, Joey Archibald, Bobby "Poison" Ivy, Harry Jeffra, Ray Lunny, Chalky Wright, Joey Peralta, Lou Transparenti, and Georgie Hansford.

    Surf, since I was a young pup, and with my dad seeing Lulu Constantino in NY fight clubs, his name sounded like Constantino. Some record books record him as Costantino, and other sources as Constantino...But as good ole Billy Shakespeare wrote, "a rose by any other name will smell as sweet". He was a helluva boxer, but not much as a puncher though... He had the misfortune to come along the same time as Willie Pep, Chalky Wright, Sal Bartola, and Sandy Saddler....

    I am thinking that Taylor would not have the power to make lulu become to negative and so I go for lulu by decision 9-6/10-5
