  • Black Dynamite Eddie Booker
    Black Dynamite Eddie Booker Weight: Welterweight to Light heavyweight Manager: John Burdick Est. Pro record: 68-5-9 Eddie Booker is another of the often-ignored black fighters that campaigned in the United States during the 1930's and 40's. A slick boxing defensive stylist with decent power in both hands -- particularly the left hook-- Booker beat some of the better fighters of his time. An accomplished, title-winning amateur around his adopted home town of San Jose, Eddie Booker was popular with the fans from the minute he turned professional under the management of local boxing guru John Burdick. Although his pilot was often criticised for being far too selective when considering opponents for his charge, Eddie did his part by defeating most of the men that were put in front of him With a well-developed and muscular physique, Eddie Booker had the strength and ability to 'mix-it-up' when the chips were down and was happy to either fight or box -- he genuinely loved to be in the ring. Compared by some to heavyweight great Jack Johnson in regards to his ability to catch a punch and deliver a blow in the same motion with the same hand, Eddie was a methodical, conservative workman who used his mind along with his fists. He was unbeaten in his first 44 bouts, then lost back-to-back decisions to Fritzie Zivic and Cocoa Kid. He rebounded with a string of knockout victories before taking time out during 1940 due to badly damaged hands. Victories against some of the better west coast battlers, such as the Hogue twins, Bobby Birch, and Lloyd Marshall earned him a world-ranking and a crack at the California State middleweight title, which he lost over 15 close fought rounds to the brilliant Jack Chase.

  • TRAGIC TWINS a Book Review by Roger Zotti
    TRAGIC TWINS A book review by Roger Zotti “[When the Hogue twins were 31 years old,] they were still young men, but life had taken its toll on them. Shorty was living in a variety of care facilities, and Big Boy, who spent several years in and out of Atascadero Mental Hospital, appeared to have no discernible skills outside of the ring other than cheating at cards.” Harry Otty, The Tragedy of the Hogue Twins One Willard Joseph “Big Boy” Hogue and Willis Burton “Shorty” Hogue are their names, and boxing historian Harry Otty has written a meticulously researched, eminently readable, and informative book about them. Enhanced by many photos of the twins, family members, friends, and opponents, it’s titled The Tragedy of the Hogue Twins (REaD Corner). Harry’s intention is that readers take from his book the realization that “boxing, for all its hype and glamour, is a brutal sport and some of those who fight to entertain the fans don’t make as much money as the Floyd Mayweathers of this world. Most fighters come away with little in the way of tangible rewards and some come out with a lot less than what they went in with— as was the case with Shorty and Big Boy Hogue.” At first Otty, the author of the acclaimed Charley Burley and the Black Murderers’ Row, had no idea who the Hogues were, but after extensive research, he says, “I ended up in touch with family members, and then [learned more] about [the twins], and thought theirs was a tale worth telling.

  • Introduction
    introduction Out of the black, into the blue IT WAS MIDNIGHT when eighteen-year-old Archie Moore jumped off a freight train at Poplar Bluff, Missouri. He ran four blocks to catch a truck that was to bring him back to Civilian Conservation Corps camp 3760. It was the summer of 1935 and the CCC, which provided work for underprivileged young men, was one of Roosevelt’s most popular Depression era programs. “I missed the truck,” recalled Moore. “I saw its taillight disappear over a hill.” The camp was located ten miles northwest from the station and he had to walk those miles in pitch darkness. “There were no lights, no traffic, no moon or stars. When I hit a loose gravel stretch five miles out, I welcomed the noisy crunch of my shoes,” he said. “Then I became aware of other steps, say a hundred yards ahead.” Moore stopped, thinking it was an animal, but the steps stopped too, only to resume when he did. This went on for a while and Moore realized someone was playing with him. Then “a wild, weird laugh” pierced the darkness and whoever it was struck a match and lit a cigarette. Moore, by then thoroughly unnerved, considered going after him. “He began walking again and soon the sounds died away,” he said. “I plodded on.” Images from that experience flickered in his subconscious—the disappearing taillight, the long dark road, the mocking laugh. “The details never vary,” he said. “I have that dream so often because I associate it with my life.” Later that summer, he was plucked from a crowd at a prize fight to answer a challenge from the ring.
