Fight 1380372, Abe Hollandersky Vs. Dave Palitz

According to the Evening News of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, pg. 13. for September 3, 1914, this bout between Hollandersky and Palitz may have been poorly scored as a draw as Palitz was said to have knocked down Hollandersky in several rounds. This article may be a reference to the January 2, 1913 bout in Claremont, New Hampshire, also ten rounds and between Palitz and Hollandersky, however, the bouts in Claremont were not as well known or well publicized. The article went on to note that Abe was down in the tenth for well over ten seconds, but the referee refused to begin a count. Hollandersky and Palitz fought together many times, and fought a number of boxers in common including Young Monty, Buck Falvey and Willie Collins. They may have both fought Kid Carter, Kid Lewis, Terry Mitchell, and Young Ferguson, as all four are included in Abe's personal tally of fights and all fought in New London but are as yet unconfirmed.
