Just heard a friend of Durelle's on As It Happens - said that Durelle and Moore became close friends. Moore was in NB for a charity golf tournament in the '70's; at his bar/restaurant, Durelle won a game of pool against Moore, and said, "I finally beat you!"

Moore reportedly said that Durelle had the hardest punch he had ever felt - and Moore had fought Rocky Marciano, among others.

Joe Louis was quoted as saying the first Durelle-Moore match was the best fight he ever saw.
