John L. Sullivan speech

Thanks, playing it now. Good stuff so far. Few fans know that Sullivan had to play the London prize ring game, and beat the best there before he could fight Queensberry rules.

I did not know London prize ring gave the knocked down fighter 38 seconds to get up!

 

Solid stuff. I liked Sullivan at Madision Squre Garden, and was unaware he KO'd the American champ with Gloves ( Goss ), but since it was with gloves, it did not count.

I also did not know about Sullivan breaking his left arm, or becoming ill.

 

Adam, when is the Jeffries book going to drop? I had to settle for socks last Christmas!
