    There used to be a couple of vids on Youtube, one against Wilde (about 7-10 minutes long, can't fully recall) and the other against some guy that he walloped in about 30 seconds.

    There is footage of him against Johnny Buff and Jimmy Wilde atleast. He was a strong and aggressive fighter who could compete at flyweight and bantamweight. He fought and beat some very good names despite dying at age 23. His last bout was against the great Jimmy McLarnin who in today's term would have been a super bantamweight facing the flyweight champion.

    Very game fighter with a good amount of speed, toughness and punching power. He liked to block the punches of his opponent until exploding on them with combinations of power punches.
