Marty Cutler, Burns, Jack Johnson (LOC)

  • Rob Ketcherside said:
    Presumably taken in New Mexico in the lead up to Jack Johnson's July 4, 1912 fight with Jim Flynn. Marty Cutler and "Professor" Burns were mentioned as sparring partners that accompanied Johnson from Chicago in a May 25, 1912 NY Times article ("Johnson Starts for Las Vegas"). The Library of Congress has two related photos, of Jim Flynn sparring and of Jim Flynn's training camp. (Note that this is not the Burns - Tommy Burns - that Johnson beat in his legendary July 4 1910 December 1908 fight. Tommy Burns was a sparring partner for Flynn, according to a May 1, 1912 NY Times article ("$1,100 for Johnson's Training").)

    Thanks @David.Lafevor. Missed your comment ages ago, and just happened past this after the PBS special. Corrected mine, hopefully people noticed yours!
