    Big lad for them times, not a surprsie he was compared to primo, he even spared later on with Tommy Loughran when he was preparing to fight primo

    Sadly once he stepped up in class against the hard and fun loving (read his book its a great read) jack doyle he got battered after doing well

    Any way id never heard of the guy before, thought some might find it of interest, considering here in the uk we are it seems living in the era of the super tall Heavys, price, dallas, fury etc

    Loved watching the training session on Brighton Pier with the bemused locals haha, thats why you tube is so damn great when you find stuff like this
