    As i posted I saw jimmy Doyle in Stillmans gym training for a bout at
    Broadway Arena, NY a few months or so after he was kod by artie Levine, and before his fatal bout with Ray Robinson..I recall his stiff backed
    straight up style ala Jack Johnson..I only saw Doyle train a round or so,
    but he looked like a photo from 1900-1910 in stance...But he was good enough as a youngster to beat the tough Tommy Bell...He remains in my
    mind vividly still today...he also beat a top notch Danny Kapilow...
