Chicago Tribune, November 14, 1893:
“’Young’ Griffo made his first appearance before a Chicago audience in a set-to with ‘Young’ Scotty, a Chicago negro featherweight. Chicagoans were rather prepared for more than they found in Griffo.
“He is clever beyond dispute, but he cannot punch as people had been led to believe. He fights fast and keeps his man going all the time. He had the best of the set-to and could have stopped his adversary in the last round. Griffo will have plenty of work whipping the good featherweights in America.”
