Lulu Constantino was a light-hitting speedster, who befuddlded his opponent's with that speed. Constantino was unbeaten in his first 56 fights, before having that streak ended by Chalky Wright. Lulu ws favored in his rematch with Wright, this time for the title, but Constantino elected to run, while the busier and harder hitting Chalky Wright outworked him for a split-decision loss.

Some of the top fighters defeated by Constantino were: Henry Hook, Joey Archibald, Bobby "Poison" Ivy, Harry Jeffra, Ray Lunny, Chalky Wright, Joey Peralta, Lou Transparenti, and Georgie Hansford.
