Any ideas? Looks like a 175 pounder, maybe.

Alas Thom's trunks were gold and silver in the Morton fight, not red and gold.

Could it be Doug DeWitt?

Jay Snyder is my other guess. DeWitt-Hearns is on youtube, I believe.

It's not DeWitt, as he had white trim in the fight. It's not Lapaglia as the ring post doesn't have Budweiser on it, plus Hearns isn’t wearing red trim on his shorts. His hair is too long for it to be Snyder.

Took me a while but it appears to be Ed Dalton.
