TT, yes I did see Bernie Bernard fight a few prelims in the mid 1940s...Trying to recall my memory ,
Bernard was a short well built featherweight when i first saw him in an outdoor Arena...I THINK he was a redhead or blondish, and he won the 4 round bout...I think he had two of his friends as seconds entering the ring...He was considered a featherweight prospect those early days...So long ago...
Hope i helped.?
