my father fought a couple of times on the same bills as alby hollisterand admired him as a fighter and as a nice guy. john macdonald matchroom m.c. rang the ten bells at the york hall just after he passed away a few months ago,everybody there observed the silence and clapped loudly afterwards.i think he was the first man to floor randolph turpin which shows what a dangerous fighter he was. i know everyone thought very highly of him.
