"Charles (Tombstone) Smith had no trouble retaining his state welterweight title at the Olympic Auditorium when he scored the unanimous 12 round verdict over Don Jordan. An accurate, stinging left jab was Tombstone's best weapon. He got off slowly, but finished like a jet-engined plane. Smith had a big advantage in height and reach and 4 1/2 pounds in heft." -Ring Magazine, April 1957 issue
