    Yes sir! Victor fought Johnson in a no dec 6 rounder ,[Johnson 211lbs Victor 198lbs ,] Victor was a late sub for Denver Ed Martin. Vic also went in with a young Jess Willard, who beat the crap out of him making him quit in 4rds of a gym fight. Fred, who fought as Fred Mckay sparred with Willard too, he was kod by Carl Morris, Boer Rodel, and Gunboat Smith among others.. Brother Arthur fought 3 exhibitions with Bob Fitzsimmons in 1910.. Brother Leon all 6' 8" of him was kod by Fireman Jim Flynn.
