    A fight between Fitzsimmons and Greentree to the finnish advertised for the 21st september 1887. Some other fights on the card too. Anyone know about this?

    I was searching just to see if fill out the records a little bit, I found a few if anyone is interested.

    There's a "h" in his name, appears to be a typo

    It appears Fitzsimmons had a 3 round contest with Billy Woods the same night, presumably a no decision

    He had fought a 54 round draw in 1890 with Jimmie Dahoney

    Paul Pitzlin KOed J.C Quinn in the third round of a finnish fight on Wednessday March 16 1887

    Paddy Gorman

    Cyberboxingzone notes he was scheduled to fight Arthur Upham, but no result can be found. This said Upham was detained by the authorities, and Paddy Gorman was instead matched with Charley Gleason, but I can't find any result for that either.

    Herman Bernau

    Dec 3 1895 Greco-Roman wrestling match against Ernest Roeber, each won a fall each when Bernau found one of his ribs was broken. Surprisingly, the referee declared the match a draw
