Victor McLaglen

RANGER11JP · 03-22-2021, 07:20 PM

So I watched "The Quiet Man" for St. Patrick's Day and it had Victor McLaglen who was in many John Wayne and John Ford produced movies.
I thought I remembered some trivia that he was a boxer. Found him in BoxRec with the nickname Sharkey. Having just gotten back into playing TB 2.5, I pulled up his debut year of 1903. He isn't there. He fought some name guys and was 16-8-1, but no mention. Is he somewhere else that I am missing? Any help? Thank you!

This is what I have. Probably almost twenty years old. The win over Gordon Coghill is most likely wrong, no evidence this fight happened.

Hi Cap,

I should have known you would have something on this. I would have thought he might have been in the 10,000 fighters DB. As for the twenty years old, I found some files that are "fighters.dat" on a hard drive which I can't figure out what they worked on. Maybe TB 1 ????. Ya got any clues?
Thanks so much for your help on SHARKEY.

fighters.dat is most likely a 2.5 file from a saved game

Thank you, pilight. So should I be able to open it with TB 2.5 somehow?

A new universe before any fights will have all the dat files you see in the attachment. It's doubtful whether you can open one without the others.

pilight,

I have never actually looked, or at least that I remember!

Thank you!
