does anyone know the name?

Post by stellar »

I don't know what the type was called, I think from welter or medium, who boxed with his hands at his waist and charged the jacks from the propellers, it was still on black and white film

Nicolino Locche used to fight with his hands down a lot, but not sure that's who you are talking about

Can you explain what you mean by that?

If it’s that he threw a lot of punches, it might be Henry Armstrong.
