MeLarnin jabbed, poked and pounded out a living in the ring for 13 years and during that span he took the world welterweight title twice and probably faved more opponents than any other fighter in history. . He was the *darlin" of the huge Irish communily in New York City as he fought betore capacity crowds at Madison Square Garden and during his career the son of an drish immigrant tamily earned approximately $500,000, However, the must amzing part of the Jimmy MeLarnin story is that unlike most fighters of his day, Jimmy was able to keep his money. He retired at the ripe old age of 29 and he retired a very rich man. ‘The reason McLarnin was able to accornplish these two amazing feats is very simple, In the days of cigar smoking and unethical boxing promoters and hard- drinking lighlers, James MecLarnin was Simon pure. ‘The MeLarnin family cume to Canada when Jimmy was three and moved flo ‘Vancouver six years later. There were 12 children in the family and while they weren't poor there wasn't much to spare. Years later McLarnin would recall that his mother gave the children a strict Methedist upbringing and he credils thal more than anything as.a big help to his . P -.and he was also on his-way.... career. - Another major boost to his career was a part time Vancouver dock worker with an uncanny eye for boxing talent — Pop Foster. -' When Foster first saw McLarnin in the ring as a 13 year old, he saw talent in the raw which could be shaped into championship material. The two paths crossed and young Jimmy began his long trek to the top. Foster worked him hard and schooled him in the basics of boxing. He stressed basics time and again. ‘MeLarnin was taught | that the best defence: was speed (“IE they can't hit you , they can't hurl you.) Foster taught him basic ring slrategy (“box a fighter and light a boxer.) and he taught Jimmy to use his lett to such an extent that 14 years later McLurnin took the welterweight title in the right round and didn't throw a single punch with his right, MecLurnin believed tn Foster. They co-owned the sume philosophy which Jimmy recounted years later us: A boxer must be made, He cannot be born. Even if he is born as strong as an-clephant and as swill as a gazelle — and ] wasn'l — sumeone has to teach him to be a boxer. ‘The learning has to come slow and hard and it’s never finished." Following three years of hard training in Vancouver, Fosler and the 16 year old Jimmy set oul on the road te san Francisco lor MeLarnin’s first test. Schooling in San Fran- cisco consisted of $50 bouts for the steadily improving McLarnin. In 1924, they moved to Los Angeles where Jimmy began to get main events and then, in 1928, Pop Foster decided thal McLarnin was ready tor the big time — New York Cily. On February 24, 1928, MeLarnin faced Sid Teris in Madison Square: Garden before a capacity crowd. He decked him in the first round. Suddenly, Jimmy was an Irish hero to New Yorkers, His first title bout came as a lighlweight against Sammy Mandell in May 1928. But the litleholder completely outclassed Jimmy, whose first taste of title fighting turned sour. Inarematch in November of 1929, MeLarnin took careful measure of his opponent. ‘He slowed him down by working on the body and then went to work on (he head and took the decision in LU rounds, Untor tunately by this time MeLarnin had outgrown lightweight and the lille was null and void. “You licked the right lighter at the wrong time.” said Foster, MeLaraia went on to win several more lights thal met Young Corbett HI tor the world welterweight title at the Gardenin (433. Corbett, a big lett hander, came out in the. opening pounding, MeLarnin's ribs and head wath bes left, Bul MeLarnin tad scauted: his Oppunenl snd noticed that when Corbet tires a tedt le dropped Dis right a liltle. MeLornin countered: wolhia Jelt to the chin ad Corbett dropped. Me dropped him Iwiee more and al. i7 ob the fixst raul Jimmy had his first world litle. round, He held it fora year only to lose it to Barney Hoss ut the Gardens in May, 1934 on a split decision afler 15 rounds of gruelling pun- ching. A rematch was staged that September and in what was described as “a close. desperate and punishing fight”, MeLarnin regaincd his title. McLarain defended his title once more agains! Res» in May, 1935 and lost. Wisely, he retired a year later and slill lives very comfortably today in - Calilornia. His 13 yeurs in the ring brought MeLornin fame and fortune, He boxed in 7? pro lights and wor 63 of them. And, inimany MeLarnin is still boxing lady - at the B.C. Sports Hall of ame.
