    That Bob Armstrong sure do get around, don't he? Remember the films of him sparring with Jeffries in 1904 prior to the Ruhlin fight and then with Mike O'Dowd in 1919? There must have been pretty good money in selling yourself out as a sparring partner in the 1900-1920 era!!

    Are you digging up these great photos or are they from your collection?

    That flapper broad sure seems to be digging the action. I bet she was a good time.

    From what I've read he was an excellent gym fighter ,but rarely produced his form in a real fight.

    I'll never buy that Armstrong only weighed in 180s. He's huge.
