L.C. Morgan was a hard hitting journeyman who spent most of his career
fighting in the rugged conditions of Mexico. He was good enough to beat
a number of good fighters including; Glen Flanagan, Ludwig Lightburn,
Don Jordan, Joe Miceli, Eddie Perkins, and Battling Torres. His two most
impressive were a cut induced knockout of Jose Napoles, and a knockout
of Carlos Hernandez.

Despite the list of good wins, Morgan's aspirations of becoming a
world-class contender were ruined by a glass chin. All told, Morgan was
knocked out 23 times, most of them coming against the cream of the crop.
