Nig Yeager

Pic for the fighter file in the pack just sent to cornerwork.

"Yeager wasn’t the scientific best of Albina’s many good fighters, but certainly the most dramatic and spectacular, a heavyweight with a punch; other Albina fighters were smaller men. He not only could punch but could take a knockdown himself and still get up and fight some more, and these are among the elements of boxing popularity. The odd thing is that he rose from nowhere, and absolute unknown in the boxing game, into that sudden period of bright splendor, in which he packed in and stirred the fiery enthusiasm of the customers as no other Portland fighter ever did. He fought just 15 times. Of the first 14, all but four were knockout victories. Then came ill-advised No. 15 against too good and experienced a man and curtains!"
