Light Heavyweights: Bob Fitzsimmons vs. James Scott

[scorpio83]

15 Rounds Light Heavyweight Bout

Fitz would wear Scott down behind his body punching in the early rounds and then working more on the head to either take a decision or late round stoppage. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Scott walks through Old Bob for a TKO win. Scott was way too advanced for the old timer.

you know bobby was from a different time when simply winning with a body shot was hailed as some amazing thing

So glad that a boxing historian such as yourself got so much from this fight.
This different time, guess that goes until at least until 2004 when Hopkins stopped De La Hoya with a body shot. Is that when the era was, 1897-2004? Then everything got magically better overnight?

Actually, Scott fought during the 1897-2004 era as well.

wtf you on about my man

[Ambling Alp II]

You are mocking the old timers because the fight ended because of a body shot. I pointed out a major fight in 2004 where a fight ended with a body shot.

[margaret thatcher]

im not mocking them for a body shot ko, what are you smoking right now

is 2004 when you stopped following current boxing btw lol

[Ambling Alp II]

Whatever.

Scott would win by 9th round TKO, but Fitz would win a competitive fight.
