    Sounds nuts but thats whats up on the esb page.



    In 1913, Willard dropped a young fighter named John "Bull" Young with an uppercut in the 11th round. The terrible blow drove the base of Young's jaw up into his brain and he died the following day. Willard was arrested and charged with manslaughter. The charges were dropped, but Young's death would haunt the gentle natured Willard the remainder of his long life.
