Research help with a reward for the successful party
Posted: 03 Oct 2012, 14:47
Hi guys,
I have an offer for anyone wanting to help me with a little research. Several years ago I copied an article or articles detailing the Walker-Greb fight and its aftermath which spoke of Jack Kearns getting the radio reports at LaHiff's Tavern WITH Walker's wife. And Walker going back to his hotel room the evening of the fight and having his wife and sparring partners taking turns applying ice packs to his face. I adding citations to my book and I either misfiled this/these article(s), or misplaced it. I am in the process of going througn twelve years worth of research and thousands of pages. If anyone can save me some time and find a copy of this/these articles before I do I'll give you a rare boxing film on a "for your eyes only" basis, that you wont get anywhere else. I'll even let you pick the era it comes from and give a choice of fights. Let me be clear though I will be searching my files as you are searching and if I find it all bets are off. That being said Ive been looking very hard for two days with no luck and I should have found it by now. I would probably start looking at papers two or three days AFTER the fight and work my way backwards.
That being said, if you find any first hand accounts of the fight I dont already have I will trade you for those as well.
