    Hey Guys,

    My Step-Mother is a teacher and recently one of her students told her she was hoping to learn more about her father. I told her I would help, but after a preliminary search (i.e. boxrec.com and google) I wasn't able to find anything on him.

    I am also aware that it is very common for fighters to use ring names, so I figured all hope wasn't lost.

    Here is the little I know about him -

    Daughter says he fought under Karnes Taylor or Karnes Taylor Jr.

    He was born Nov. 10 1957 and Died Feb 22, 2001 in Greene County, VA

    His daughter says he fought out of Philly, in the late 70's and early 80's. I'm hoping this is the fact that would get him remembered as I know Philly is a huge fight town and a lot of you know about a ton of the fighters from this area.

    Anyways, thank you very much for any help you could provide in helping this little girl find out more about her father.
