I wish I knew which one was Tillie Herman. He was originally in Baer's training camp then switched camps, literally overnight and became Campbell's second. It was Herman who jeered Baer as he entered the ring for the 5th round and got him so angry he came out with the intention of ending the fight. One of these days I'm going to drive up to San Francisco and take a look at the negatives from this fight.

I like the King Kong of Kauliflowerdom ... =) He got that in 1933, which was when the original King Kong movie came out.
