Terry McGovern 124 lbs beat Joe Gans 133 lbs by KO at 2:05 in round 2 of 6

  • Date: 1900-12-13
  • Location: Tattersall's, Chicago, Illinois, USA
  • Referee: George Siler

Joe Gans was knocked down once in the 1st round, and six times in the 2nd round.

Gans reportedly "took a dive" -- prompting the state of Illinois to outlaw prize-fighting for the next 26 years. The next legal show did not occur until July 3, 1926, although a number of "private" and "bootleg" fights would be staged in the interim.
