Young Jack Dempsey ID 239984
This gentleman, I came across looking through Mike McGowan's career in the papers. I came across a fight between these two that BoxRec does not have on McGowan's record. Looking seen that this Dempsey was in BoxRec. Dug up some new info on him. I looked at just a small handful of his fights around when he met McGowan just to help figure out who he was. Made up a TB file for him then. Added a few Bio Notes just on what I looked at. Could do more digging later on more of his career.
Here s is a bit of his Bio I dug up and from BoxRec. There's a bit more on some of those fights I looked for in the file Notes.
