Seems like he burned like a meteor. Caught a handful of fights from early trades when if it didn't happen in the States, you just read about some fighters in a monthly mag. Usually a month later . No one ever one bricked ageless Baby Jake Matlala like that. McAuley had his track shoes on but just sharp shot him all day and close.
