Missing Fighter
Missing Fighter
After seeing "Fat City" for the first time, I noticed that there were several former fighters in the film. I then looked up a "Fat City" review article by Sports Illustrated online to learn more about the fighters that appear in the film. One of the former boxers who had a small role was an ex-lightweight named Bob Dixon who played a farmworker that speaks to the main character, "Tully". When I looked up Bob Dixon, his record did not appear on this website. According to the article, Bob Dixon fought out of Los Ángeles, California and his last fight took place in Canada in 1949.
