Doug, you are correct..Jackie Fields it is..At 16 years old he won an Olympic title. Youngest ever. Fields turned pro then, and won a welterweight belt from Young Jack Thompson in 1929...In a bout with Young Corbett, the referee gave the bout to Corbett,even though the crowd thought Fields won the bout. The referee came to Fields dressing room to explain to Fields ,that he raised Corbett's hand by mistake,wheron Fields mgr, Jack Kearns knocked the referee cold with a right hand..:hi:
i bow to your knowledge as always sir.. btw....here's mushy callahan training elvis... This content is protected
