    Years ago I bought a copy of the saddler v Elorde fight, which was, I believe, Saddler's last bout. Talk about a rough guy, Saddler busted him up and I don't think he landed a punch.

    Man he was a bad ass. That final fight with him and Pep must have been something. All three on the canvas at times and Miller leaving the ring to pull them apart. Nat Fleischer in The Ring, December 1951, page 3, this was an extremely dirty fight, with "wrestling, heeling, eye gouging, tripping, thumbing- in fact every dirty trick known to the old timers.." Referee Ray Miller "let the bout get out of hand..."
