Primo Carnera vs. Leroy Haynes 'I' ~ "Timber in Philadelphia"

[Bill Paxtom]

Leroy Haynes



The Los Angeles Bomber - Leroy Haynes

The 6-Year Professional started off his career in 1930. But in May 1935, Philadelphia Fight Promoter
Herman Taylor convinced Leroy to move to Philadelphia.

Over the past 2 1/2 yeas, Leroy has compiled a record of 11-2-1 {8 KO's}, with the only losses
coming by {L Dec 10} to 'cagey' Al Ettore in mid-1935.

Since those losses, Haynes has gone unbeaten in '7-Bouts'.

The Haynes Camp have been 'targeting' the former Champion - Primo Carnera for the past year,
as they believe that the West-Coast Slugger has too much of an aggressive-style for the lumbering
Carnera.
