Koch was born in Germany, and immigrated to the United States in 1909.
Tiny Herman was an Astoria police officer when he got into professional boxing. He initially started boxing as "Oscar Koch" and "Sgt. Koch".
Herman later moved to Ohio, and trained Heavyweight Meyer (K.O.) Christner. According to Christner, Herman was near death in 1932 after a bout with pneumonia caused him to lose over a hundred pounds from his weight at the time, which was around 280 pounds. Herman died of a brain infection in 1934 in Dayton, Ohio, according to the Akron Beacon Journal.
