Timeline
William Lawrence Stribling Jr. (December 26, 1904 – October 3, 1933), known as Young Stribling, was an American professional boxer who fought from Featherweight to Heavyweight.
Born in Bainbridge, Georgia, on December 26, 1904.
Stribling's mother claimed she wanted him to be a boxer from the time he was a baby.
"When he was two years old, I started him on leg and arm exercises," she told an interviewer.
Stribling was raised as a vegetarian.
"Strib" celebrated his 21st birthday by marrying Clara Kinney, a student at Brenau College.
Clara's father was a prominent Macon businessman, and her mother was the first woman to serve on the city council.
Clara's grandfather was a former president of Wesleyan College in Macon, the oldest female college in America.
Stribling turned professional in 1921.
Stribling fought 75 professional bouts while still in high school.
He fought at very high frequency.
From 1921 to 1929 he fought 258 times, over 28 times per year.
In a title match against light-heavyweight champion Mike McTigue the fight was declared a draw.
Unhappy with the draw, the ring was surrounded by angry fans who demanded the fight be given to Stribling, which the referee did.
Three hours after the fight though, he re-affirmed that it was a draw.
"Unless I awarded the decision to Stribling I would never leave the arena alive," referee Harry Ertle said after the fight.
The two would face again for a rematch 6 months later.
Stribling convincingly outpointed McTigue, winning the match.

Both fights occurred while Stribling was just 20 years old.
He had previously fought Berlenbach to a draw in 1924.

In 1928, now 24 years old, Stribling set the record for knockouts at 101.
The New York Times added that "few of Stribling's recent victories were over well known fighters."
Stribling met the future heavyweight champion, Primo Carnera, in 1929 and lost on a foul.
In a rematch, Carnera fouled Stribling.
Each scoring a victory by disqualification.
Commenting on the unsatisfactory conclusion of the two matches, sportswriter Robert Edgren commented "Stribling seems to be playing Carnera the way he has played a lot of palukas and stable mates at different towns in "the sticks" in this country. Always the return engagement."
After a string of impressive wins against Hans Schönrath, Otto von Porat, and Phil Scott, none of which lasted more than 2 rounds.
Stribling was given a shot at the heavyweight championship against Max Schmelling.
It was a decisive victory for Schmelling.
