http://www.espn.com/sportscentury/f...was known to,187 pounds of unbridled violence. The above article mentions that Dempsey would hum some tune while fighting. I hadn't read that before. Does anyone know of other sources that mention this? Also, is anyone aware of another high level boxer that would be known for doing this? To clarify, I mean during fights and not training (bag work). Thanks for any replies or insights.
Interesting. Can’t say I’ve ever heard that. Perhaps Jack synced his bob and weave to whatever tune he hummed. “The Hummer”’would’ve been a cool nick for Jack, though a much more meaningful term some decades after the fact of Jack’s career.
