Anyone know who this is?

Hey guys, my father was a professional photographer and while I was going through some of his stuff I found this picture. It was in one of his scrap books he kept of his pictures. While he wasn't normally a sports photographer apparently he took this photo. I was wondering if any of you know who this boxer is. Thanks in advance.

Sure man. Yea he looks like a pretty cool fighter from the vids I seen of him on youtube. Thats cool that your dad had that stuff around.

Someone else sent me that picture Tuesday night. It must be some kind of contest.

Question, who's left hand is on the Kid's shoulder?
