Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto
From 1937 thru March 1941 Woodman compliled a 27-8-4,16KO record without ever being stopped in a fight. This was against much of the local club fighters, guys with 0-0, 1-2, 0-2, etc type records. He did defeat a Billy Gobel(7-19-5,1KO) who at least had a track record, though he was a welterweight. In January 1941 he lost an 8 round decision to Al Marson who was 6-0 at the time. This was the first of 7 fights between these two.
He June 1941 Woodman began to make his move up to a little bit better competition. The next 7 years of his career though would show he could not handle much more then the local club guys as he finished out the second half of his career going only 14-20-4,6KO and getting stopped in 4 fights. As mentioned he fought Marson 6 more times, loosing 4 times and drawing 2 other bouts. He lost fights also to Jack Hyams, Ben Valentine twice, Manuel Abrew, Jock Taylor, Reg Spring, Allan Cooke, Lenn Bennett(30-16-1,14KO)twice, and Reg Andrews(35-12-4,9KO). His only wins of any note were over Jimmy Carroll, Frank Hough(61-26-4,42KO) and Len Bennett.
