Fight:268522

Freddie Steele 138 lbs beat Paddy Ryan by KO in round 1 of 4

• Date: 1929-11-21
• Location: Greenwich Coliseum, Tacoma, Washington, USA

Ryan was reported by the local Everett Daily Herald newspaper as being from nearby Fort Lewis, Washington. Thus, this likely is the "Soldier Ryan" bout listed in records of Steele's fights lacking an exact 1929 date. According to the Tacoma News-Tribune: Steele "is being brought along with care, consideration and ability by Dave Miller.... Let that boy get an even break of things and in a few years you stand a great chance of reading about him as a REAL FIGHTER. So far he has revealed EVERYTHING, EVERY NATURAL ability."
