Thx for posting this...First impression of Wolgast is how similar he looks to Ken Overlin in that brief clip with Henneberry. Really fun watching this guy.
True, there is a resemblance to Ken Overlin in Midget Wolgast busy style,but the midget was more elusive i think. This clip with Juan Zorita,was when Wolgast was past his flyweight peak,fighting as a lightweight. Slower, but still damn good...
Thanks Burt...I agree he does look very elusive. First time actually i've ever seen him. Very glad this was posted. Damn good is right.
"Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before"--Mae West When at his best Wolgast was one of the top five flys ever, imo. He fought in a very tough era and was dominant over a long string of fights against top men, champs and contenders. His multiple wins over Wee Willie Davies(considered an uncrowned champ for years) are especially impressive. Nice seeing Juan Zurita. Little did he know that 48 years after his bout with Ike Williams that he would be the one who found Ike dead in his bathtub. Strange how life works.
