    Big thanks once again Senya, sensational work I must say. Yes these reports of yours suggest for sure that there are too many knockdowns in the big article I read on the fight, BUT even at the bare minimum this was one of the greatest fights in history, maybe the greatest ever, certainly I cannot think of a fight like it in heavyweight history, the closest thing to it I can think of off the top of my head is a report I read about the Great Bendigo fighting one of the other great names of Bendigo's time in what must have been close to what the Romans witnessed on their best days in the Colosseum, I count at least 8 times jeanette went down in one of those and a couple of others back that up, One report simply say this was the greatest fight seen in like 30 years or so. Lets not think this wasn't a very special fight, it seems to me that Joe and Sam met somewhere and said Lets Decide This Once And For All.

    I never seen these reports and I am a constant visitor to that great Blog of yours and i have borrowed many of those fight reports for threads before.... so do you have more than one site ???..... I have quite a few reports hardly anyone has ever seen of Darcy but still many I am still looking for, I even have a newspaper report of a fight he had when he was just fifteen, if you have more I would dearly love to see those. You do have the first Darcy versus jeff Smith fight and it's the definitive best and most reliable report of that fight I have seen. Anyway cheers Senya, you are a great sharer of important reports and articles and you keep the old names alive as well as anyone out there....... I do not always agree with some things you say but usually do.
