Notes

Johnny Coulon's pro debut. From Chicago Tribune 08/26/1906: "Johnny Coulon, the clever amateur bantamweight, will make his apperance as a professional against Danny Goodman." Also, from Appleton Post-Crescent, 02/25/1920, "Coulon started at the age of 14. He was an amateur for some time...Johnny showed up at an amateur tourney in Kid Howard's gymnasium. The Kid looked at the scales when Johnny stepped on and told him he'd better vamoose. But Johnny stuck through derisive laughter, and his dad wanted to bet $100 he could whip any of the other lads. They selected Danny Goodman, who weighed around 110, and Johnny won. Later Goodman was matched with Coulon in Johnny's first professional fight. Again he beat Goodman. Johnny weighed 98 and Goodman weighed 113."
