Clarence Forbes 122 lbs lost to Frankie Neil 115 lbs by KO in round 6 of 20

  • Date: 1903-01-15
  • Location: Mechanic's Pavilion, San Francisco, California, USA
    • Neil was down in the 4th round. Forbes was down twice in the 6th round.

    Clarence Forbes substituted for his brother Harry Forbes, who reportedly turned up ill. Later, however, it was determined that the Forbes brothers were members of the Mabray gang of "notorious swindlers who planned fake prizefights and other matches to defraud unsuspecting persons." Harry Forbes allegedly had planned to take a dive in his bout with Neil, "but the cat got out of the bag in some way or another and the bets were called off." March 23, 1910 San Francisco Call [1] [2]
