Bob KO Sweeney - Definition and Overview

Boxer John Kraynak (December 15, 1894, Plymouth, Pennsylvania - June 14, 1961, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, USA) used the name Bob "KO" Sweeney because it was a more "Irish-sounding" name that would result in a bigger draw for his fights. He is perhaps best known for his bout against Bob Fitzsimmons, for it is considered to be the first bout ever captured on film.
