You seem to be assuming that Fullmer didn't have movement, but he did. And his speed is hard to judge, but he appears able to get off before most...
"I am not saying so much that the fight was close." No, some of the newspaper accounts imply that. It impresses me as being similar to the...
Of course. Any punch to the nose hurts, but heavy punches hurt more. These punch stats just boil down to saying three jabs overrule one hard...
Corbett was ahead on points going into the late rounds, so landing more punches did matter, but he clearly was fading with Jeffries' heavy punches...

Thanks for posting this. What really impressed me was the great move the referee made when the two fighters unexpectedly lurched toward him....
You have no proof of bias from any newspaper. You are just assuming that to prop up your argument. How do you know that the Herald writer who...
