Light Heavyweights: Bob Fitzsimmons vs. James Scott

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.

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.

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.

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