ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Aurelio Herrera - Old Time Skull Crusher

Aurelio Herrera fought some of the best lower weight fighters of the late 1800s and early 1900s. He was tough, he could punch and he lived fast.

Herrera also had an interesting back story. Since he's a relatively unheralded fighter during a great period of boxing history, perhaps his story should be told.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historians Patrick Connor and Aris Pina team up again to remember Herrera and the characters like Terry McGovern, Battling Nelson and Abe Attell that he crossed paths with.

The Life and Career of Floyd "Jumbo" Cummings
