Rating by:Rocco Del Sesto

Black won his first two fights by 3rd round TKO over Jack Johnson(5-16-3,5KO) and Milton Manley(0-7-0,0) then fought a 10 round draw with Bill Nielsen before loosing a 10 round decision to Lou Bailey, all in 1965. In 1966 he was KO'd in the first round in Feb by Cleveland Williams before coming back in June to stop Nielsen in the 6th round. It was year later in June 1967 before he fought again, loosing a 10 round decision to Johnny Alford.

Almost 3 years past before Black shows up in the ring again in January 1970 when he wins a 6 round decision over Mac Harrison. In june that year he then looses a 10 round decision to Ron Marsh and then in December looses a 6 rounder to Harrison. Two fights in 1971 finish Black's career, a 4th round TKO victory over Battling Bob Smith(5-8-2,4KO) and a 6th round KO loss to Willie McMillan(15-10-1,9).
