I am posting this thread on behalf of Bobby Scanlon's brother, who is requesting memorabilia such as Photo's, Newspaper Articles, Magazines, Boxing Programs, Boxing Posters, and above all Film Footage. Will pay TOP MARKET VALUE! Bobby Scanlon as many Boxing enthusiests know was a promising Lightweight contender out of Buffalo,NY who eventually settled in SanFrancisco to pursue his professional career. He had a total of 55 fights, winning 42, losing 12, with 1 draw, & never knocked out. He fought many quality opponents such as Pete Kawala, Mike Spataro, Dave Gallardo, Wallace (Bud) Smith, Lauro Salas, Gale Kerwin, Joey Lopes, Paolo Rosi, Orlando Zulueta, Johnny Gonsalves, Mario Vecchiatto, Jackie Donnelly, Paul Armstead, Frankie Narvaez, Luis Molina to name just a few. After debilitating injuries he retired & returned back to his hometown of Buffalo, NY and in June of 1975 died in a Hotel fire in Lackawanna, NY. Please if anyone out there can offer some or direct us to some items for his family it would be deeply appreciated. You can email me directly at: 1southpaw@adelphia.net.
Thank you for for taking the time to read this thread.
