Any hardcore fans ever see or hear of this man?
His best win seems to be stopping Kirkland Laing (a resident poster here) lol
Astonishing record for this Oklahoma boy. He once went 15 rounds with a fit Harold Braizer.

he had loads of no contests
and all his losses came at the end virtually
he didnt exactly have an outstanding record in terms of oppponents tho did he
I can still remember the Kirkland Laing fight from when I was a kid (young teenager). It was midweek on a show called Sportsnight. Laing was wiping the floor with him then got caught and laid out with a monster shot.
120 KO's is some going.

I used to love those midweek sport shows, that was the only way you got to see highlights of the football, boxing, snooker etc. Fucking unreal compared to these days.
Thought Laing was unconcious but he actually got up.

British premature stoppage? You'd never see it these days ;D
*nothing really special about him, other than he fought a lot, and not on TV. I remember Chavez sr fighting a guy names Marty Jakobaski , or something like that... he was 96-1 I think, I never heard of him... he got ko'ed, but who didn't when they fought Chavez ,in his prime... Last I heard, damn, what's his name is still fighting...that guy that had his first loss to Tito Trinidad back in the 96 or so, from Mexico... he made Tony Ayala quit on his stool... anyway, that guy has to have over 100 fights..Quote:

I imagine that this guy would have been self managed and always there for any promoter who wanted to fill out his fight card. He had some busy years in there too, no six month preparation for this guy! You'd really only get that kind of record either in the USA, where there is so much boxing available almost every week, but I doubt there's too many fighters anywhere else in the world with that kind of record.
That was bullshit, Laing was fine to go on. Yeah I thought he was properly ironed out. Did well to get upright to be fair.
