Re: 1894 Winnipeg Boxing Scene
WOW! What a find. I don't enter 19th Century fight cards myself..but we have many editors that would find your information exciting.
Too bad current boxing doesn't adopt odd number of rounds scheduled, like they did in Winnepeg..nobody likes draws.
Keep up the good work and keep providing info as it becomes available.. we appreciate your efforts greatly.

How would a person go about getting these boxers added to the BoxRec database? I have copies of the newspaper accounts from 1894.
