Horseshoe Punch: The Meteoric Rise of Boxer Ray Bronson

In this short episode of Talking Hoosier History, we'll learn about Hoosier fighter Ray Bronson, who rocked the boxing world during the early 20th century. A horseshoe fitter-turned-welterweight champion, Bronson's considerable wins, international bouts, and successful management of other boxers put him a cut above most fighters.
