Thanks for Martin Beni, Chris. I remember as a kid reading in the Fighter magazine about Beni and his fellow countryman Johnny Aba. For some reason the Papaua New Guineans got my attention.
Do you know if any ratings have ever been posted for New Caledonian Charles Baou? Shane.

NUR MOHAMED LW (1953-1954) Overall Rating = 4
Born - Calcutta, India 7(3)-1-1 Nur fought briefly out of New York City. He had the makings of a nice little career going with a 7-0-1 record and a win over Ray Portilla when he lost his first bout; an eight round decision to George Collins. For some reason, he then gave up the ring. |
