    So, how good was he? how many did he beat? how many did he lose to? Was his styles unique? An underrated technician? Is there any article of him??

    Just wanna tell you that no, I'm not baiting you to watch my video. I really did this highlight reel for us to fully observe how good his skillset was... but still feedbacks of the highlight reel I made would be highly appreciated

    Tough, huge hearted fighter who was a staple on Friday Night fights back in the day.

    Very good fighter in a tough era. Had wins over Joey Giardello and George Benton which shows you right there how good he was. He had a very long career and of his 30 losses only once was he ever stopped.

    And that stoppage was to none other than early model Bob Foster who he actually lasted 12 rounds with two fights later.

    I heard the knockout loss was a 9 round battering which the referee stopped the fight. So it's more of a stoppage than a knockout, is it true?

    Good fighter. Tends to get overrated though. He lost a lot for a reason.

    It was a TKO based on the refs call.
