Frankie Sequeira and Johnny Gonsalves

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Gonsalves (R) and Sequeira appeared on the same fight card at the Oakland Auditorium on 31 August 1949. Frankie Sequeira won a six round decision over Dave Reynosa in the opening bout and Johnny Gonsalves won a ten round decision over Beau Jack in the main event.

In 1951 I seen Johnny Gonsalves fight Art Aragon live at the Olympic
