there was another McLaglen brother, Arthur McLaglen who had done
several 2 round exhibition fights with
Bob Fitzsimmons in Australia in 1910.
Does he have a fight record here at Boxrec ?
( perhaps he may have fought under an alias ?)
btw there were 8 brothers and one sister in the family.

I had heard great things about him including that he was a title contender...looking at his record, through he sounds like just a run of the mill fighter...he did win an Oscar, through, didn't he??
