Greatfootage Kym.
This fight was at Chicago Stadium.
I loved that place.
I was an usher there at 16.
Great fight venue and a great fighter.
Bobby Dykes was a real solid fighter too.
He just passed away not too long ago.

Re: Ray Robinson at WW rare footage
There are several fights of Robinson while he was still campaigning at WW. Its just that most people dont have them and idiots like Max Kellerman who have never seen them constantly insist they dont exist. His fights with Riccio, Becket, Flores, Abrams, Angott, Docusen, and Fusari all exist to name a few.

PUg
that would have been a great place to work as a youngin to
get that sense of history.
One thing that is good about YT is that slowly more and more
rare fights and bouts of guys, who not to many non hard core
fans know about are emerging so that they may be remembered.

Re: Ray Robinson at WW rare footage
klompton - great news about these fights and thanks for listing them!!
i remember the bobby dykes match on live tv, so i should have figured there's be a record somewhere. i'd expecially love to see the one with docusen.
in the bobby dykes fight i recall srr standing on one foot and jabbing dykes and some folks in the crowd got pissed because of his show boating, but i thought it was great. i think it was just in the last round.

Re: Ray Robinson at WW rare footage
I have the Dykes match but unless Im mistaken Ray was already fighting at MW at that point and was facing Dykes for the Pennsylvabia World Middleweight title.
Re: Ray Robinson at WW rare footage
..klompton......yes, srr was fighting as a middleweight then....though the dykes fight was just a ten round one, so i don't know how that actually was for one of those state totals robby was picking up at the time. maybe you can clear this up for me. thanks.
