james j jeffries vs james j corbett in 1900- jeffries kod corbett 23 round ny.

 

No, this happened many years after that.

Hint: This was not a title bout.

 

I thought they started to phase them out after the first world war...It wouldnt have been universal straight away and Im guessing it would have changed on a country to country and state to state basis. I think Ive seen some 25 rounders scheduled in the 40's.

 

Your getting close. It did happen in the early 1940's.

 

Eddie Blunt vs Bill Poland then?

 

Bingo, very good. I'll put up a harder one shortly.

 

was thinking of Louis Pastor II, but that was a 20 rounder lol.

 

Was joe louis and abe simons fight the last 25round title fight?

 

You could have made Most of Louis's title defenses 25 rounders. It would not matter, it would have ended before the tenth round in most cases.

 

Their 1st bout was the last title bout that was scheduled for 20 rounds. Also, another Louis title bout was scheduled for 20 rounds and that was against Bob Pastor in 1939.

 

Ahhh. The last 20round title fight. I knew the fight was of some significance apart from the comedic way big Abe feigned dismay after the fight was stopped

 

That was a 20 round match.

 

what was the last world title fight to go more than 15 rounds?

 

Mike McTigue beat Battling Siki in 20 rounds on March 17, 1923.
