Auditorium, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
Lou Bailey 178 0 4 0 D PTS 8/8 George Jarosch 174¼ 13 1 0
Chuck Whittley 172½ debut W TKO 2/4 Frank Bocek 169½ debut
These two fights were part of the same fight card in the previous post, but no mention of them were reported by Jack Waina in his "Michigan Fistic Facts", but they are reported on by Pinky Mitchell in his "It happened in Wisconsin" column. Pinky reports that Chuck Whittley tko'd Bocek, in 2:23 of the 2nd round.
The Lou Bailey / George Jarosch fight only mentions it ended in a draw. The attached file I've included of Bailey, I've added a LHW rating for 1957 through 1960. There were already two different TBCB3 DB Team ratings which I'm guessing are intended to be for his whole career rated as a HW. In fact though Bailey fought as a LHW in his early years moving up as high as class C LHW in Ring's 1959 thru 1961 annual ratings. Professordp included a rating as HW for the time period 1961 through 1967. Professordp if I remember his posting on this rates this as being his true prime fight period at least as a HW. Bailey then took off 3 years, then fought again 1970-74 in the HW ranks. Is the TBCB3 DB Team rating with the lower control ratings for this time period?
