Here is Charlie Beecher

Thanks for your help SAL! Here is another one from the list. Please don't hesitate to e-mail me if you need any of these pictures. Many of them are from the ones that you all posted here, so you may not need many. However, if you do, use my email address for requests rather than the PM system here at OOTP (it does not seem to allow attachments)

CHARLIE BEECHER FW

Hometown - New York, New York, USA

21(3)-6-2; 4 NC

Beecher was the self proclaimed Junior Featherweight Champion of the world; a title that he bestowed upon himself after defeating Freddie Jacks in 1921. Beecher put the title on the line the following yearagainst an inexperienced Tibby Watson, the two fought twelve rounds with Beecher winning on points. Beecher was a decent defensive boxer with a pretty fair chin (he was only stopped once toward the end of his career). Charlie fought some of the more active if not the best fighters of his day including Dutch Brandt, Frankie Burns and Dick Loadman.
