Erdei gave up his LH title in 2009 by moving to cruiser

Muhammad Ali -- anchor punch (taught to him by Stepin Fetchit)
Marciano -- Mary Ann (right hand)

"rabbit Punch" used by a lot of guys

City for Conquest
Bowery Blitzkrieg

That newspaper is dated January 21, 1896, the day after the bout. Not 1889

Sounds unlikely.

Good catch!

The film "Cinderella Man" was indeed "right" about Max Baer -- I know as I wrote the book and worked on the film for over two years. Max was wild -- made numerous racist and misogynistic comments, and even threatened to beat up 110-lb Jimmy Johnston. And the dope shot himself on ...

TOmmy Loughran wa stopped on cuts by Ray Impelletri. Loughran blew a cork and argued his way into having the fight continued -- and he won!

Not sure -- but I do see that Tsarnaev won the semi-final the day before. So he was in the finals.

I wasn't able to access any papers with the results of the finals.

Sullivan -Kilrain more technically should be a London Prize Ring bout. Mixing LPR bouts with current bareknuckle bouts should be considered wrong and confusing.

If Boxrec added an LPR category I'd be all for listing it.

should be MMA bout

Glad to be seen!

This card was on HBO in its earliest days -- I recall both the Bobick-Middleton bout and Soto-Douglas -- the rest of the card I can't recall.

Louis wore purple often -- the color of royalty.

Great stuff -- every bt helps, especially bouts as obscure as these. Excelsior!

Didn't England leave the EU where this law applies?

Brazier-Meekins was a great fight with brilliant boxing. It is one of my favorites.

Pro bout for Armstrong -- this was reported in Mexican RIng MAgazine. Bout occurred prior to Feb 15 Casanova bout.


Feb Francisco "Traca" Hernandez Pachuca, MEX KO 3
Feb 15 Baby Casanova Mexico City, Mexico LDQ 5

All day after newspaper reports that I checked -- maybe 5 different -- all reported 7 round bout. So we should stick with that pending further proof.

Agreed. I've never been able to locate anything except the first cited article about this bout in Sydney, OH.

Johnny Cerda and Mexican Pete are the same fighter -- brother of Eddie Cerda.

I'm going to combine under "Johnny Cerda" -- can we still do links from Mexican Pete to "See Johnny Cerda?"

He definitely fought in Maine -- I think the name was something like Ben Dover or something like that -- Im looking for my notes.
