Herrera was a murderous puncher;
He was the size of a featherweight but he hit like a middleweight;
He was a rough, tough customer who came to brawl; He likely could have
been even better had he trained seriously and taken good physical
care of himself
Herrera defeated such men as Young Corbett II, Joe "Spider" Welch,
Billy DeCoursey, Toby Irwin, Tommy "Young" Mowatt, Jack "Kid" Madden,
Jack Clifford, Eddie Santry, Louis Long, Barney "Kid" Abel, Benny Yanger,
Abe "Kid" Goodman, Kid Farmer and Charles Neary |
