Ardus O'Malley

From The Great Outdoor Fight

Jump to: navigation, search

The son of second-generation Irish immigrants who'd settled in Carson City, Nevada, Ardus O'Malley (1915-1981) learned to shovel coal before he could talk - and to fight before he could walk.

His story is, alas, a tragic one: as an infant, young Ardus was such a terror that his parents were forced to sell him into indentured servitude with a railroad company. It was there that his unfocused aggression matured into a genuine talent for violence; by age five, he was entering, and routinely winning, fights organized by railroad foreman Magnolius Flinch. At age eleven - by which time he was the feared but feral master of the underground fighting arena - a blind mystic bought him from Flinch for the sum of $800 (nearly $10,000 by today's standards).
