How many Kid Chocolate fights are known to exist on tape?

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

Does anyone have a breakdown of info on this?






I've seen a little of him, was just wondering how much of his career is out there.

Not much, I've seen his 1st fight with Canzoneri and 2nd with LeBarba.

There are probably more fights of him but chances are they will be extremely rare, Chocolates public figure was "banned" and he was exiled by Castro in 59', big chance that many of his recorded fights would of been destroyed or have decayed over time, but some more of them may of been salvaged.

Yeah, those are two I've seen - thanks, youtube.


I'm sure I've heard Tyson name him when talking about the influence of little guys on his boxing consciousness, so there must have been at least one Kid Chocolate bout or two in that D'Amato fight-library.



Hmm. I have an idea for a thread in the section - will pursue soon.

In addition to the Canzoneri and Labarba fight i am sure that i have seen his fights with Battling Battalino and Al Singer floating around. I think it is likely that there more fights are out there, they just need to be discovered or released by collectors.
