king 12,030 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Between the ages of 14 and 16, Daly had more than 70 contests, including 25 wars that lasted 15 rounds. At the age of 15, Daly beat both the Italian and German flyweight champions and was being lined up for a shot at the British crown before he outgrew the weight. http://www.welshboxers.com/hall-of-fame/nipper-pat-daly/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
