George (Hock) Keys was described in Referee, an Australian sporting newspaper, (June 22, 1904) as "amongst the cleverest boxers with us today but unfortunately his boxing equipment does not include a knockout punch."

He is to be distinguished from Hock Keyes of Vallejo, California, although American papers often spelled his name the same. [1]
