Jack McVey Welterweight Boxer From Georgia - Robert Grey Reynolds, Jr
Jack McVey
Welterweight Boxer From Georgia
Published by Robert Grey Reynolds Jr. at Smashwords
Copyright 2016 by Robert Grey Reynolds Jr.
Gentleman Jack McVey came to Boston as a substitute fighter. McVey boarded a train at South Station to take the place of Homer Robertson, a heavyweight who was scheduled to fight Arthur Flynn. Though not in his best shape McVey cut Flynn to pieces. The bout was stopped in round nine when the referee came to Flynn's assistance.
McVey, originally from Georgia, was known as The Pride of Harlem. A fine welterweight boxer he also contended for the middleweight championship. Jack sparred several rounds with Gentleman Jim Corbett (1866-1933) at an After Dark In Trenton event.
On Thursday evening, June 10th Jack McVey defeated Sailor Freedman (1899-1968) in a semifinal bout at Yankee Stadium. In tip top form McVey carried the fight to Freedman from the beginning. A volley of lefts and rights sent Sailor crashing into the press boxes.
Freedman was aided when someone pushed him and he dived into a clinch quickly enough to stave off a knockout punch. Some observers thought McVey would have certainly won by a knockout had the bout continued twelve or fifteen rounds.
On August 30th Jack lost a decision
