at the Mishawa Air Base in Japan.

Turned professional in March 1983 {Age; 20 years, 10 months}
while in Japan.

Ran off '3-Straight' Knockout wins.

In November 1983, travelled to South Korea to take on the former
OBPF Welterweight Champion - Chung-Jae Hwang.

I remember reading about him in boxing magazines but I never saw him fight. No youtube in those days.

Carlos Elliott

Was also a 'Martial Arts' expert. I saw a few of his bouts.

He was a pretty good fighter, who resembled Simon Brown in style.

Just one little correction here. Carlos was from Hartselle, Alabama not Huntsville. I know because I grew up with him and his other siblings. His younger brother Stanley was also a very good boxer and wrestler.
