Trying to find biography of Johnny Buckley , Manager of Jack Sharkey and later of " Dynamite" Joe Rindone who fought Rocky Luciano. He operated in Boston , MA and ( I think ) at Kelly`s Gym near Jack Sharkey`s Bar in Boston.Johnny Buckley may be a relation of mine .
My father , Dan Buckley , introduced me to Joe Rindone at Kelly`s Gym when he was training for his bout with Rockey Luciano . I was only a kid at the time but remember the meeting vividly. Johnny Buckley might have been my father`s brother .
My father was connected to the boxing sport in some way. Family rumor had it that he was a second for some period of time. He would take me to the Friday night bouts outdoors at Dilboy Field in Cambridge where he seemed to know everyone. Also to the club fights at the K of C Hall in Reading , MA where we lived. Appreciate any help , comments , suggestions . Dan Buckley , ME
