*"Cripple Creek, Colo, Sept. 13.--The Dixon-Attell fight at the Grand Opera house last night was the most unsatisfactory affair of its kind that ever took place in the city. The Olympic club, under whose auspices it was given, will have to do a great deal of hustling in the future to redeem itself. It could not exactly be called a fake, but certain it is that neither man was trying. A very small audience was present and half of those left before the fight was over." (''Denver Post'', 1901-09-13)
*"CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, Sept. 12.--George Dixon, ex-champion lightweight, and Abe Attell of California fought twenty rounds to a draw here to-night. The bout was utterly devoid of interest and before its close many of the spectators left the hall in disgust. Neither of the men received a scratch and the whole affair is regarded here as a clever fake to "get the money." Jack McKenna of Denver manipulated the hippodrome, which, as usual, was pulled off under the auspices of the Olympic Athletic club." (Denver ''Rocky Mountain News'', 1901-09-13)
