The Last Bareknuckle Punch?

I threw the last bareknuckle punch, in a Heavyweight title fight, who was I?

 

I was gonna say Butler when he ran across and punched Grant after the bell but I don't think it was a title fight nor was it Heavyweight haha.

I'll have a think

 

Well surely it can't be as easy as either Sulivan or Kilrain can it?

 

No, neither of them.

 

Jim Jeffries in the Sharkey bout - apparently his glove was somehow tugged off in breaking free from a pretty rough clinch - when Jim got his hand free from the tangle of Shark's arm it was glove free so he let Sharkey have it as hard as he could go with the bare fist.

 

I don't know but you're a lot older than I thought you were, mcvey. That had to be an awful long time ago.

 

mcvey is a spring chicken.

 

Give that man a cigar! :good

 

Just had some Leffe Beer, right now, I am a lot older than I thought I was.

 

You are too kind ,my young pugilist.:good

 

:hat cheers McVey

 

In the twenty-fifth and final round, after one of Jeffries? gloves fell off and while it was being replaced by the referee, a desperate Sharkey charged his opponent, only to be caught with a bare-fisted blow from the champion. As Sharkey recovered from the punch and Jeffries from the pain in his hand, time expired and the fight came to an end. Referee George Siler declared Jeffries the winner and still champion.

 

Henry, you and BB, take some wrong footing :good
Apparently, the last round had to be re-enacted, because the film ran out?
Sharkey agreed, but wanted to do it for real, he was some loose cannon ,Sailor Tom.
