He was friends with Jack Johnson for they visited the same Brothels .
Their fight was fixed but he strayed away from the script by landing that crushing right hand,Johnson smelled a Rat so he got up and knocked him out cold.
The fight was supposed to go for several more rounds,but it was cut short dues to Katchell straying from the script.
