Additional Fights/info For Tommy Schaefer

Post by WildRebel »

Have a copy of the 1963 RING RECORD BOOK. Lists additional fights for Tommy Schaefer not posted in box rec. They are as follows:

Tommy Schaefer
1961: 4/11-Herb Cornitsher, McKees Rock, Pa(?)..........W 6 p.549
1961: 8/10-Willie Finney, Miami, FL..............................KO 5 p.549
1961: 11/13-Willie Finney, Miami, FL............................KO 5 p. 549
1962: 2/17-Carlos Quiles, New York, NY......................W 6 p. 549

* In the Dec.1961 Ring Magazine(p.29), Lew Eskin in an article entitled, Ready Set,...GO!He writes about Schaefer who was a promising lightweight prospect at the time. He mentions Schaefer defeating Herb Cornitscher on page 51. Also, he lists Schaefer as 5ft.6inch. lightweight. Box rec has Schaefer listed as a middleweight. Schaefer's nickname was "Grave Digger" as he worked as one prior to becoming a boxer.
