"Throw Him Down, McCloskey"?

[edit]

In "One Froggy Evening", the famous WB cartoon featuring the singing frog, one of the songs performed is the 1890 hit song "Throw Him Down, McCloskey," a song about a 47 round bare-knuckle boxing match that seems to be about this individual. I have yet to found any reference connecting the real-life person to the famous song, but it seems likely. If anyone could locate a documented link it would be an interesting addition to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Schulien (talkcontribs) 02:30, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
