Mike DeJohn

[DFW]

Does anyone recall seeing any of his fights? I saw him in with Eddie Machen the second time around when he was stopped in 9. I also remember him winning against Billy Hunter. He was a hard puncher out of Syracuse; Carmen Basilio's old stomping ground.

I think I saw him once on a Gillette Friday Night fights in the early
sixties....maybe against Machen or Folley.

He gave good effort....but was at the tier below Machen-Williams & Folley.

He is in the Sonny Liston highlight films as an opponent getting bounced around.

He would have been the type that Patterson would a have given a title shot to......provide some action....then get k.o'ed after 8 rounds.
