Hybrid Rules Match-Ups

[HomicideHenry]

Example:

Lamar Clark often fought against professional wrestlers during his stint as a boxer, but often times fought in legit shoot exhibitions against them as well. Against wrestler "Eric The Great" he (Clark) managed to throw the wrestler into the ropes and he got tangled up in them, and the wrestler got counted out because he couldnt untie himself.

While that may be a farce or a joke to some, how about the infamous 'Lumberjack' match Tommy Burns had against 'Klondike' Mike Mahoney? The fight allowed kicks and basic grappling, and Burns managed the win against the notorious miner/fighter who literally raged hell on the Pacific Northwest.

If you notice on the career of John L. Sullivan on this sites database it mentions that some of his Marquis of Queensbury fights were in fact hybrid rules, cross between the old bare knuckle grappling style and the new style.

Gene LeBell vs Milo Savage.
Gene choked him out. It was a real fight with hybrid rules.
