"Henry slumped to the canvas in the 8th round from blows that wouldn't have upset a flyweight, and with disgust Referee Stone raised Bivins' glove." (The Ring,, December 1949. page Postscript. June 4, 1954 New York. Henry was arrested on charges of attempting to fix a fight between Bobby Jones and Joey Giardello. It was alleged that Henry offered Jones $15,000 to throw the fight Henry was managed by Blinky Palermo.:think Anyone have any info on this? NB Three months after this fight both Henry and Oakland Billy Smith were thrown out for stalling in their fight.
Possibly. Or the crafty Bivins may have been too much for the green Henry and he packed it in. Henry is one of the few fighters you give credit too in the 50s. Archie Moore really laid a butt whupping on Henry.
I like a lot of 50's fighters: Brown Basilio Graham Gavilan Charnley Ortiz C Giardello SRR Pep Ortiz M Keenan Nardico Dupas Saddler Lausse Fernandez Towne Johnson Webb Villemain Dauthille Perez Giardello Rodriguez Sands Bratton Miceli Turpin Ortega Tiger Liston Moore And about 200 others.
I see three on it and I've underlined them, but here are some more. Machen Satterfield Patterson DeJohn Folley Baker Henry Charles Walcott
