Howard Truesdale-Jack McCarron result

Post by klompton »

The Howard Truesdale-Jack McCarron fight held in Allentown on February 12, 1914 was a referees decision and the verdict was a draw. It is incorrectly listed on Boxrec as a newspaper win for McCarron. This is because McCarron's manager at the time, Chappie Gorman, sent false reports to Philadelphia stating McCarron won. McCarron fought a very dirty fight and was disqualified in the 7th but Truesdale allowed the fight to continue to a decision to give the fans their money's worth.
