    Riley gave Saddler a tough challenge and was knocked out by Willie Pep. He was an exciting fighter and also a very tough man as anyone who has read about his lifestory would admit. The man went through some hard times.

    Soon after this fight he would be banned from boxing due to being blind in one eye. He claimed to have fought the last 5 years of his career half-blind.
