    They were guys who grew up doing back breaking labour. They were in shape you can't imagine.Also they were drinking whiskey between rounds.

    Rules were different back then. They prepped themselves physically and mentally for such types of fights, just like these days where they prep for 12 rounds, or in the amateurs, for less rounds and time. Workrate and tactics are different due to the available resources
