Jack Brazzo, A.K.A Jack Palance, fought Joe Baksi in his one and only fight (12-17-1940)

That's what you call a tough only fight.

"Few people know that veteran movie actor Jack Palance was a professional heavyweight boxer in the early 1940s. Fighting under the name Jack Brazzo, Palance a product of Lattimer Mines, Pennsylvania, won his first 15 fights, 12 by knockout before losing a 4th round decision to future heavyweight contender Joe Baksi on Dec. 17, 1940."

usually i would trust the imdb as a source ....

That makes more sense than fighting Baski in your one and only pro fight . . .

Why? Baski had only been fighting pro for six months and was just a four-round preliminary fighter at the time.

imdb used to be very reliable but a while back they changed it so anyone could edit/add to pages, just like wikipedia.

I've seen some complete rubbish written on imdb and they never ask for sources. I've seen wholesale copy and pasting from wikipedia into imdb too, when it's usually the other way round.
