yeh what was he doing at the time

 

Leonard died of a heart attack (coronary thrombosis) after refereeing the first six bouts of the April 18, 1947 card at the St. Nicholas Arena, New York.

He was refereeing the bout between Mario Ramon and Bobby Williams. The bout was immediately halted by the commission. (Death has also been attributed to a hemorrhage of the brain.)

 

yeh he was just about to ref the 6th bout of the night i heard in the doc in this corner benny leonard

 

What future World Title Holder, lost in his 1st bout in the 1972 Olympic Games at the underage of 15?

 

Wilfredo Gomez to an Egyptian I think.

 

YES! Very Good

I just got back from Ring Announcing the New Jersey Golden Gloves.

Now we still have these 2 to answer:

Who fought in the 1st bout that the ring announcer announced the scores?

When was the 1st time both the mandatory 8 count rule and 3 knockdowns in 1 round terminating the bout was used in a Championship match? Who were the boxers?

 

No one wants to even take a guess!

dempsey vs tunney for the announcer

ali-liston for the 8 count one

 

No to both. The announcer question happened in the mid-1940's and the 8 count 1st happened in the early 1960's.

 

i really dont have a clue they was just guesses

 

When was the first bout in America to use Judges?

 

Jack Dempsey/Jess Willard bout on July 4, 1919
The contract called for the Referee to decide the winner in the event the vote of the two Judges differed.

 

Nope, close though(in the same era).
