Jim Fell and Jim Fall Posted Separately on BoxRec Same Perso

Post by yelocale »

Jim Fell is the same person as Jim Fall (who has a separate page on your site at BoxRec). The match on 13 May 1884 near Clear Creek, NE was fought between Jim FELL (not Fall) and Jack Hanley. Fell was awarded the fight and declared the winner because of a foul Hanley committed (the fight was basically manipulated or "rigged" for Fell to win however).

For the full story of the fight see the contemporary article about it from the Omaha Daily Bee:

There is no such fighter as Jim Fall. He's Jim Fell. The 13 May 1884 fight near Clear Creek, NE (Saunders Co.) should be put under Jim Fell's career record on this web site.
