I liked watching him fight, and I like guys that have a lot of fights. He did pretty well for a guy that learned on the job. A few years back I had a chance to talk to him a bit and he was a good guy. There was a benefit boxing show for a Christian school in Moorer, Oklahoma, that had been hit by a tornado. I was setting up and taking down the ring, my friend was wrapping hands and Buck Smith was setting up the ringside tables and chairs.
