    Is this at the start of his career, or somewhat in the middle.

    Terry McGovern comes pretty close if your talking about the middle of his career.

    hh you are of course right tommy Gibbons...
    Sidenote=a couple of months ago i saw on youtube a film that opened my eyes in appreciation...It was a clip of tommy Gibbons Koing Jack Bloomfield
    in london England Aug.9,1924 in 3 rounds with beautiful combinations of left hooks and right crosses, that was stunning...i requested the poster
    of this film, [if he reads this request] to replay it once again for ESB on youtube...Now I understand how Gibbons kod 21 men in 1921 !..b.b.

    Gibbons and Demps basically broke the town of Shelby, Montana, in the early 20s...... YES! A notable fight, but also somewhat forgetable, as well.....

    MR.BILL

    The Railroad was not up to par to rail mo-fo's in left and right into Montana back in the early 20s..... Christ, I'm not sure it is even able to do so today....... 'Twas a BAD spot for a big fight......

    MR.BILL

    BUT! I do believe Jack got that $300,000 G's he was promised and then got on the first train outta there.... WORD!

    I have no clue what Tommy Gibbs took away....... NONE!
