Damn this torpedo, and full speed ahead. And damned he was winning only twenty of his seventy-three pro fights! But to give a little credit, he was reported to have a pretty decent chin only failing to finish three times and counted out twice early in his eight year career. His other early departure was via TKO.

Problem here was that they forgot to arm this Torpedo! Of his twenty wins, only three of his opponents were counted out. Another was stopped in eigth.

Pretty much an undercard fighter, he had a couple of main events. A native of Los Angeles, he was a regular prelim fighter at Legion Stadium and Olympic Auditorium.

In the last years of his career, he became pretty much wanderer, ultimately finding his way to the East Coast. In 1948, the Torpedo was launched in several New York venues, with one loss at Madison Square Garden and a loss to Lenny Mancini in Brooklyn's famed Braodway Arena.
