Does anyone know why Zale was so bad round these years?
Having a look at his record and it shocked me. From mid 1934 to early 1938 he suffered some terrible results. He had 30 fights during this time lost 12 and drew 1.
In those losses, he suffered 3 KO defeats two back to back. At one point, out of 9 fights he won just two of them, losing 6 and drawing 1.
And to top it off in early 1938 was knocked out for the count by Jimmy Clark in just 1 round.
Wow, off this form who'd of ever thought Zale would go on to be world champ and a hall of famer.
Zale is a very underrated success story.
