Dec 22, 2007 - I found two bob - but gave it to the ref!

TruthRaider Says:

Dec 22, 2007 - Any raise on 70 rounds?

JackBowzer Says:

Dec 23, 2007 - No, I mean I lost my shilling on a bet. I wagered Fitzsimmons would knock him out in the 83rd round, and then the Austro-Hungarians would invade Rhodesia. Boy, was I wrong.

TruthRaider Says:

Dec 23, 2007 - Well, there's still time to bet that Tommy Steele will top the charts this Christmas!

JackBowzer Says:

Dec 23, 2007 - Too late for that. My money's on Burlington Berty going top thirty.

TruthRaider Says:

Dec 24, 2007 - Backing the favorite again! Why don't you go for an outsider for a change?

Nov 23, 2008 - Heres a little triva for ya's!! Wyatt Earp was ringslide and collected over 200 guns at the gate!! This was one of Bob fitzsimmons 1st glove fights, he was the best bare knuckle fighter there ever was!! One of if not the toughest fighter of all time too;)( they don't breed em like that anymore)

codymana1 Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - r u crazy, john l sullivan, peter jackson and jack broghton were the best bare knuckle fighters ever, fits was ok, but rocky marciano was the best heavyweight of all time

Dec 5, 2008 - "To tempt him into a trick I thrust out my head, and he started his old vicious right, but as I had planned, just at the beginning of the swing I pulled my head back sufficiently to be out of reach. As one does when getting off to a wrong start, he pulled his punch and started again for my head. Again I jerked my head aside, and this time seeing he was going to miss once more, again he pulled his punch.

charlesg230 Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - Now a man with the natural fighting instinct that Fitzsimmons possessed will never let any arm be idle, so as my head flew back and he checked his right, he let his idle left try something, just started it haphazard and landed on the pit of my stomach. Quicker than all this takes to tell, I sank to my knees. I was conscious of everything that went on...but my body was like that of a man stricken with paralysis.

charlesg230 Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - I could hear the referee counting and grew desperate. He came to "eight" and I reached for the rope to try and pull myself to my feet. I missed it, and fell flat on my face. I was nearer the ropes, and reached for them again. "Ten." I was out! No longer the champion of the world."
