I bet you did not know that ____________

No F, they fought twice in one night .:good

 

There is some doubt as to how many rounds the fight was originally scheduled for , some say 10 ,some say 20.Johnson hurt his arm in a match against a wrestler prior to this fight and broke the tibia bone in the third round of the fight , therafter he fought one handed ,Jim Johnson couldnt do much with even a one handed Jack ,and the action was slow and boring,Battling Jim was ineffectual ,Jack stalling ,the crowd booed lustily.
If the fight was originally down as a 20 rounder, Jack Johnson should have lost the title, imo.

 

Marvin Johnson stunk!

No, not because he was a bad fighter, he literally stunk, because he refused to have a shower from the moment he began training for a fight, until the fight was over!:-(

 

Real man!

 

Funny enough just watched Colin Jones vs Milt McCrory 1 this morning. The commentator mentioned that Jones hadn't showered since Tuesday. The fight was on the Saturday.

 

He did not have a PhD. He had a business administration degree from a community college. Big difference.

 

He died either from alcohol poisoning or some drunken accident. I believe his epitaph went something like this...

"O'er thrown by punch
But not by fist
He died an unbeaten pugilist."

I'll never forget that one.

 

A drunken Mickey "Toy Bulldog" Walker threatend to smash a fella named Al Capone all around a dance hall once until a few of Mickey's mates made Mickey see the error of his ways . lol

 

Joe Louis was a tad freaked out when he asked where did Tommy Farr get those scars on his face "Blue coal face scars " Tommys manager replied he got them from fighting tigers in the "Jungles of Wales " lol

 

Jimmy Wilde once won a very nice GOLDEN trophy that melted when he displayed it to his family above his fire place ...lol

 

The clinches must have been memorable for McCrory.

 

Big brother influenced him to retire after Rudy was ko'ed by big Jack O'Halloran (one punch ko).

 

Mondo Ramos shot heroin the morning of his title winning performance.

 

Pernell 'Sweet Pea' Whitaker, gets his nickname from when an embroiderer of his gown, misheard that Pernell was shortened to Pete, so instead of 'Sweet' Pete Whitaker, we got Pernell 'Sweet Pea' Whitaker.
