George Christian of Montreal. Started boxing around 1910 mostly in New England. Last recorded bout in 1923 when he got knocked out in Bartley Madden's backyard. Film indicates he didn't put up much of a fight. By this time he was just a world-weary journeyman. I crafted the photo from a still from the Madden fight at Croke Park in Dublin. He was as tall as the Irishman (5' 10 1/2") and weighed about 185.
