    Apparently McGovern showed some science in this fight, which is surprising since he looks chaotic against Gans. It’s especially impressive considering how highly regarded Palmer was as a scientific boxer.

    “The fight was so one-sided that it is almost impossible to see how Palmer, though the best boy in England, ever could have expected to win. McGovern was quicker, stronger, and by far the more intelligent of the two….he (McGovern) is the equal of Jim Corbett in clever footwork, getting in and out of hitting distance like magic". - New York World, 1899
