    Highlights only. What a brutal looking bout. Towel fought like he was feral. Carruthers was a massive bantam from everything I've read on here. That left looks lethal.

    Toweel has toward the end of his run but still had the heart of a lion. Caruthers was still on the way up. I've never seen the full fight but would love to.

    He left everything in the ring that night, to no avail.

    He reminds me of a southpaw/bantam Saddler.
