"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
