Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle W4un Dan Crimmins

Feb 4th 1920 Cincinnati

Fatty Arbuckle that huge 320 pound man of a fighter was mightily impressive today. It never ceases to amaze me that despite his huge girth he is able to move so much, so speedily and actually to possess great stamina.

Yes it was only over four rounds and his opposition was no great shakes, but Arbuckle showed why he is considered a solid top ten contender for the world crown.

Round after round he continually speared his chasing opponent with a sneaky left hand as he closed and by the third had him both bleeding and reeling.

Roscoe's problem however is a distinct lack of pop in his punches and really much like his amateur days he should of got Crimmins out of there.
