"Indian Benny Deathpaine, former star performer of the middleweight division, who compiled an amazing list of knockouts, was helping in the conditioning of most of the leading Michigan fighters. Benny was acting as sparring partner for the big fellows, and trainer for the smaller boys. His wisdom was being assimilated by Petey Bolos, Matt Powell, Bobby McIntyre, Chuck Roberts, Tommy Bell, and other local boys." -- Mickey McIntire, The Ring, May 1943 issue.
