Chris Hardeen in the ring

Houdini's great grandnephew Chris Hardeen fought a three round fight last week at the New York Style Throwdown III in Cottonwood, AZ. According to a report in Verde Independent, "It was a hard fought battle from both contenders."

Boxing must be in the Weiss genes. Young Ehrich Weiss boxed in his youth and showed great promise.

Thanks to Patrick Culliton.

    Dash would not have been pleased that his great grandson lost that match. He would have said:

    "Don't be shaking hands with him! Hit him hard!"

    I thought Chris was in the red trunks, no?

      That's what Pat said on FB. But the above is the actual caption from the news story.

    I think Pat and David are correct. Chris looks to be the fighter in the red trunks. He kind of has Dash's profile.
