Bobby Horn - Boxer


* Bobby Horn from Oregon was undefeated when he faced
Don Fullmer in a ten round main event in 1963.  But, the
headlines of the August 21st. 1963 edition of the local
"Eugene Register-Guard" said it all in the headline:
"Death Cut Short Boxing Career of Bobby Horn"
The passing of Bobby Horn was also published in
the November 1963  "The RING" magazine.


Horn was managed by John Dewell, and some of his
training was done by boxer Phil Moyer. But, on August 2th
of 1963 his car would collide with a gas company repair truck.
