Crossed off another Ogdens, this one from the B series. Love these little cards, collecting the boxers especially but the host of different subject matters makes the Black Ogden's sets a ton of fun to pick up in random lots when they appear.
Mace is a common card, but he was a significant heavyweight and middleweight champion, one of the early scientists of the ring who beat much larger men routinely. He and Mike Donovan toured together after retirement and put on shows intermittently for a number of years promoting scientific boxing. He fought exhibitions at his boxing school in Cape Town and elsewhere into his late 70's.
