TB2: Boxing Historic Recreation (1859 - 1889)

[sabotai]

I keep pushing this off since people are always posting new fighters on the TB forums. But, if I keep waiting for more to be posted, I'll never get this started. So, since I finished updating my history utility for TB2, now seems as good as time as any to start.

This will be an alternate history. A lot of the facts I present will actually be quite wrong. So keep that in mid as you read.

Boxing Historic Recreation

At the end of 1859, an organization of sports writers, government officials, former and current pugilist got together to form the World Pugilist Group (WPG). In an agreement with the British government, the WPG constructed a list of ruls to make the fight game safer and have more mainstream appeal. Pugilism has had repeated periods of time where it was officially illegal, and the WPG felt it was time to seek to make the sport as legitamate as horse racing or football.

The WPG presented the following list of rules to the British government, which they approved shortly after.

1. Fights will be fought using gloves, not bare fists
2. Rounds will last 3 minutes, with a 1 minute rest period in between rounds
3. Fights involving the championship will last a maximum of 15 rounds, while fights not involving a title will last a maximum of 10 rounds
3. If a fighter is knocked down, he has 10 seconds to answer the count or lose by KO
4. Wreslting and grappling moves are banned
5. Headbutting, punches to the back of the head, using the elbow, using the back of the hand and punches below the beltline are all illegal
6. A doctor must be present at all fights.
7. 3 Judges must be present to each fight, and will score each round instead of a referee

Shortly after, the US officials wanted clarification on several rules and the WPG added the following.

8. In case of a cut being caused by an accidental head butt, we go to the score cards after round 4, before it will be declared a technical draw
9. Scoring will be on a 10 point system
10. Either the referee or the doctor can stop the fight
11. A fighter can be saved by the bell in all rounds.

The US officials agreed to the rules as did the British officials.

Thanks to the efforts of the WPG, pugilism has found a place in the sports world. The first title fight with these new rules will take place on April 17th, 1860 between the American champion John Camel Heenan and the British champion Tom Sayers.

Tom Sayers vs. John C Heenan
World Title Fight
London, England

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: Tom Sayers starts off strong but Heenan fires back near the end of the round, causing a bit of sweeling under Sayer's left eye. (Round to Sayers, 10-9 Sayers)

Round 2: A close round as Sayers and Heenan go back and forth. Sayers' eye gets a bit worse. (Round to Heenan, 19-19)

Round 3: A very dull round for the most part, but Heenan pours it on at the end, hurting Sayers. (Round to Heenan, 29-28 Heenan)

Round 4: Heenan dominated the round as he landed several hard shots and had Sayers hurt for much of the round. (Round to Heenan, 39-37 Heenan)

Round 5: The swelling around Sayer's left eye is starting to get really bad as Heenan once again dominates the round. (Round to Heenan, 49-46 Heenan)

Round 6: Sayers composes himself and does a decent job of staying with Heenan shot for shot in theis round. (Round Draw, 59-56 Heenan)

Round 7: Heenan wins most of the round with Sayers coming on a bit at the end. (Round to Heenan, 69-65 Heenan)

Round 8: Heenan seems to be slowing up a bit, giving Sayers a chance. Heenan wins the round, but not by much. (Round to Heenan, 79-74 Heenan)

Round 9: Heenan wins another round, but again, Sayers is showing great heart by not giving up and staying with him. (Round to Heenan, 89-83 Heenan)

Round 10: Heenan hurts Sayers midway through the round, but Sayers fires a hook and drops Heenan to the canvas! Heenan answers the call and finishes the round. A 10-8 round for Sayers, but the swelling around his left eye is quite bad now. (Round to Sayers 10-8, 97-93 Heenan)

Round 11: Heenan gets back to himself and has a good round to take control of the fight back. (Round to Heenan, 107-102)

Round 12: Heenan may have run out of gas as Sayers helps himself to a slow moving target. (Round to Sayers, 116-112)

Round 13: Heenan comes out firing but is quickly stopped by Sayers and is hurt. Sayers pounds away at Heenan. (Round to Sayers, 125-122 Sayers)

With 2 rounds left, Sayers needs a KO or to knock Heenan down a few times to win. Just once and winning both rounds will give him the tie on my card

Round 14: Sayers again comes away with a win in a close round. (Round to Sayers, 134-132 Heenan)

Round 15: Final Round Heenan comes alive in this round and completely dominates the round. (Round to Heenan, 144-141 Heenan)

My Card: 144-141 Heenan

After 15 rounds of action, we go to the score cards....

Judge 1 scores the bout even, 143-143

Judge 2 scores the bout 144-141 and Judge 3 scores the bout 146-141 for your winner...by majority decision and your undesputed world champion......

JOHN C HEENAN!

Pugilism Following The World Title Fight

Pugilism had a long and storied history in England. For a century and a half, the sport had evolved and had been close to the hearts of many diehard fans. However, with the drastic rule changes, and the lose of their champion to the American, British support for the new rules of Pugilism died instantly. Many pugilist events reverted back to the old rules and flourished underground for well over a decade.

In the States, however, the sport was still in its infentcy. With the santioned support of the new rules by the government, and the prestige of having John C Heenan win the undisputed world title, pugilism in the States exploded in popularity.

John C Heenan became an instant star, even though he would never defended his title. But back then, the fans decided the champions, and when Heenan announced his retirement after failing to lure Sayers to the US for a rematch, the fans quickly crowned a new champion.

Joe Coburn claimed the title after Heenan's retirement in 1862. Fans are, of course, reluctant to just give away the title of champion, and Coburn would have to win the honor.

Mike McCoole was a slow heavyweight, but a powerful one. An extremely strong man at 200 pounds (pretty big for the 1860s), he was a force that Coburn would have to deal with if he wanted the championship.

Round 3: Another round of very little action with McCoole doing more. (Round to McCoole, 29-28 McCoole)

Round 4: Coburn picks it up a bit, but so does McCoole. (Round to McCoole, 39-37 McCoole)

Round 14: Both fighters are tired. McCoole tried to play the aggressor but again, Coburn controls the action easily. (Round to Coburn, 133-132 Coburn)

Round 15: Niether did much. (Round a Draw, 143-142 Coburn)

After 15 rounds of action, we go to the score cards...

JOE COBURN!

[sabotai]

The Sport Suffers a Long Hiatus

Joe Coburn now had his claim to the title solidified. He was the champion in the US with his vitocry of McCoole.

Over in England, a champion by the name of Jem Mace had emerged, however, and many beleived he was the better champion. However, in England, by and large the old bare-knuckle rules were used. In 1860, he had won the welterweight championship of England and in mid-1861, his victory over Sam Hurst gave him the heavyweight championship. Jem Mace weighed in at 158 pounds, Sam Hurst at 200.

In early 1862, Mace would fight Tom King to a 43 round victory to ratain his title. Their epic battle would have a rematch in Novermber of 1862. This time, Mace would fall in a 21 round fight.

Joe Coburn saw his chance. Pugilism was gaining a lot of attention in England again, althouygh limited and unofficial, and Coburn wanted to take advantage of it. He challenged Jem Mace to a World Title fight, however Mace refused to come ot the US and fight under the sanctioned rules.

What Coburn did next would deal a decade long blow to the sport. He would abandon the sanctioned rules and agreed to fight Mace over in England using the bare-knuckled rules.

In 1864, Mace had aquired the middleweight title from Joe Gross and had regained some prestige from his lose to King. He had tried to get a rematch with King, but King had refused. Thorught 1864, Coburn and Mace would try to get a fight together. First, there were disagreements between the fighters, and then police officers would follow them and threaten to arrest and jail them if they tried to schedule and perform a fight.

The entire year of 1864 went by with no fight. Coburn returned to America and retired. Jem Mace would continue to fight in England and won back the English title in 1866. In the US, pugilism struggled without a champion and the sport suffered a sharp decline.

[sabotai]

Jem Mace Comes to America

Jem Mace, while not a fan of the new rules, had tired of his fights always being stopped by the police. In 1867, he had enough and moved to the US. He teamed up with former champion John C Heenan and toured the US in 1869 giving exhibitions.

Tom Allen was a fairly unknown fighter, but in the US, pugilism was almost dead in 1870. When Jem Mace picked him as his first, official opponent, the crowds came in droves and Allen was crowned the symbolic US champion.

In May of 1870, Mace would fight Allen in Kennerville, La. A fight that would bring the fans back to pugilism, and bring Joe Coburn out of retirment.

JEM MACE

Joe Coburn Returns

With the complete domination of Tom Allen, Jem Mace was given the title of champion of the world. However, not everyone was impressed.

Joe Coburn openly critisized Mace for picking an inferior opponent. The controversy over Coburn's statements sent off a firestorm of sports writers reporting on the back and forth between Jem Mace and Joe Coburn.

By the end of the year, Coburn official returns to the ring and challenges Jem Mace. This time, the fight would happen. After all of these years, after that year in 1864 of trying, it would finally happen on May 11th, 1871.

A New Generation

With the two classic battles that occured in 1871, pugilism became a huge success. Fighters started popping up everywhere and the sport exploded. Even in England, the old ways of the bare knuckle fights started to wane as England enforced the new rules much more vigorously.

However, Jem Mace and Joe Coburn both retired after this fight. Jem Mace would make sporadic returns to the ring for the money. In 1877, the first big time scandel would occur involving Joe Coburn. Coburn was sentanced to 10 years in prison for assault and intent to kill a police officer in New York by the name of William Tobias. However, he was released in 1882 and would make several appearances in exhibition bouts.

With the boom of the 1870's pugilims underway, the WPG decided it was time to officially recognize the weight classes in 1880. Featherweight, Lightweight, Welterweight, Middleweight and Heavyweight were the official weight class.

Since both Coburn and Mace officially retired, many fighters would make claims to the world title. The two that help the public's interest, however, were Joe Gross and Paddy Ryan. Gross was a very good boxer with counter punching ability. Paddy Ryan was a hard hitting slugger who bulldozed through opponents. Rayn was young and hungry, Gross had been on the scene for quite awahile and his skills had long since dwindled. However, not to the point where he couldn't give Ryan a run for his money.

The two would meet on May 30th, 1880. Coming into the fight, Joe Gross was considered the defending champion since his victory over Tom Allen in 1876 gave him the most legitamate claim to the title.

The fight ends at 1:42 of the 2nd Round....your winner by knock out and NEW Heavyweight Champions of the World....PADDY RYAN!

After this bout, Joe Gross would retire from the ring although he does fight a couple of exhibitions before he calls it quits for good. Paddy Ryan is now the champions.

The Rest of 1880

Irish Jack Burke defeated Bill Cox by Knock out in round 4 on August 8th. Mike Donovan fought Edward McGlenchy 3 times between October and the end of the year, drawing him once and beating him on points twice.

As we Enter 1881

A fighter by the name of John L Sullivan has appeared on the landscape. He has a record of 2-0-1 with both wins by KO. He has a ton of power and will be a force in the heavyweight division.

Also a list of new fighters:

Professor Anderson (HW)
Jack Burns (HW)
James Dalton (HW)

I'm going to start this back up with some changes.

1 - Since I've basically modernized the whole atmosphere of boxing in this recreation, I'm going to semi modernize the fight schedule. I won't have a fighter fight more than once or twice in a month, let alone on a single day. If a fighter in real life was extremely active, I'll still have him be really active, but not as active.

2 - I will be adding a bunch of TCs (tomato cans) and fictional fighters to the database to take the place of the fighters that do not appear in the game.

3 - Because of these two changes, a lot of fights that happened in real life will probably not be recreated (which was how I was trying to steer this thing towards). However, I will, to the best of my ability (rankings and different results will make it hard at times) to steer them in that direction.

It's going to take some time to set up the database for the TCs and fictional fighters, but I should get this thing back up soon.

[sabotai]

Here's is how things are going to run for a bit.

First off, there will be a minimum of 20 boxers per weight class. Right now, I have 48 HWs, 7 MWs, 1 WW and 5 LWs.

I will add 12 fake HWs to the HW to make that 60.
MW, WW and LW classes will be given 13, 19 and 15 fake fighters respectively to make them 20.

I will make use of the autoscheduler to make most of the fights. The top 20 will be put into their own group so that I can control who fights who in the top of the HW division (after a dozen fights or so). This will become true for all divisions when there is enough in them. For fighters outside of the top 20, I'm not really concerned with them. Just as long as they keep fighting, but not too much (once a month), it's all good.

Also, I am going to start everyone off with a record of 0-0-0. Mark this up as laziness on my part. I just don't feel like going in and manually entering the records again. No big deal, most, if not all, had only a few fights anyway.

[sabotai]

I had to rebuild the database because I did something stupid.....(deleted the wrong database...)

Here is how the numbers come out now.

52 HWs, 4 MWs, 1 WW, 4 LW, 1 BW

I add 8 fake HWs (60 total), 16 MWs, 19 WWs, 16 LWs and 19 BWs to make them all 20.

[sabotai]

World Pugilist Group becomes the World Boxing Group

In the US, the term "boxing" has become the common term used for pugilism. Since the WPG was now based in the US, and that pugilism has become very popular there, the WPG decided to change its name to conform to the American standard term. The WPG is now the WBG

I posted the month to month results just in case anyone wanted to follow the progress of any of the popular fighters.


Shocking Lose for Paddy Ryan

On December 3rd, Paddy Ryan suffered a shocking lose in a non-title fight against journeyman Dan Dwyer. The World Boxing Group is now questioning if they should conitinue to recognize Raddy Ryan as the champion. Until a decision is reached, Paddy Ryan has called off all future fights. Popular speculation is that he's scared to drop another lose and make the WBG's decision easier.

From this point on, I'm only going to show the result of fights involving the fighters with good records. If I post it all, these posts will get quite big.

I also decided that trying to manage how many rounds go into each fight would be a pain in the ass. So for now, all title fights = 15 rounds, all nontitle fights = 10 rounds.

Hadley vs. Croosley was not a ranked fighter vs. ranked fighter match, but it was an important one (two fighters with good records) so I included it. As the universe expands, I'll probably add fights here and there that were not ranked vs. ranked, but important fights nonetheless.

Round 5: Another round where Foley exposes Ryan's lack of defense. Ryan's left eye is really starting to swell badly. It has to be effecting his vision as Foley is landing at will. (Round to Foley, 49-46 Foley)

Round 6: Ryan started off with a good cross, but Foley again regains control for most of the round.

WBG World Middleweight Title Fight
Jimmy Murray vs. Irish Jack Burke
April 14th, 1882

Common opponents
Conway Farrell: Murray W TKO2, Burke W KO1

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: Burke starts off the round with a few power shots that stun Murray. Murray fights back though, and lands a series of shots. Burke regained control and kept Murray off balance most of the round. (Round to Burke, 10-9)

Round 2: A mirror image of round 1, this time it's Murray who jumps out to a lead and has to wrestle control back from Burke in the middle of the round. Both fighters threw in bunches in this round. (Round to Murray, 19-19)

Round 3: The round starts off much slower than the previous rounds. Murray takes control midway through. (Round to Murray, 29-28 Murray)

Round 4: The round starts off slow, but Burke gets Murray staggered halfway through. Burke landed a few really hard shots. (Round to Burke, 38-38)

Round 5: Burke totally dominated this round. Murray's left eye is beginning to swell. (Round to Burke, 48-47 Burke)

Round 6: Murray comes out carrying his hands low, but Burke wasn't prepared and was floored by a crushing hook. He barely beat the count and was able to survive the round. (Round to Murray 10-8, 57-56 Murray)

Round 7: Murray is still carrying his hands low, his eye is swelling up and Burke seems tired. These guys have taken a lot out of each other. An action filled round, however. Neither man getting the better. (Round Even, 67-66 Murray)

Round 8: Burke dominates the round. Murray's right eye now appears to be swelling up a bit. (Round to Burke, 76-76)

Round 9: Another close round. Burke got the better of Murray, but it was close. (Round to Burke, 86-85 Burke)

Round 10: Burke throws everything he can at Murray and has him hurt and stunned through most of the round. (Round to Burke, 96-94 Burke)

Round 11: Both fighters come out swinging, and Murray lands a few shots early, but Burke takes control of the round. Murray's eyes are swelling badly now and Burke has more energy at this point. (Round to Burke, 106-103 Burke)

Round 12: Both fighters seemed to have wanted to take this round off. At the halfway point, hardly anything had happened. But Murray sees a chance to take a round and he lands a few stinging shots that kept Burke away. (Round to Murray, 115-113 Burke)

Round 13: Burke has appeared to slow down enough for Murray to use his boxing skills to keep him away. A close round with Burke getting his shots in, but it's Murray who is the slight better. (Round to Murray, 124-123 Burke)

Round 14: With a minute left in a slow round, Burke lands a shot that sned Murray to the canvas. He makes it up at the count of 8 and survives the round. (Round to Burke 10-8, 134-131 Burke)

Round 15: Burke drops Murray again in the middle of the final round. Murray gets to his feet again, but after 30 seconds of nonstop punishment from Burke, the referee had seen enough and jumped in and stopped the fight.

The referee stops the fight at 2:03 of the 15th round, your winner by technical knock out, and NEW WBG MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, IRISH JACK BURKE!

Jimmy Murray and Jake Kilrain both suffer shocking defeats this month, which will pretty much take them out of the title picture in their weight classes for awhile.

With Murray's lose, that clears up a possible title fight between Burke and WC McClellan. With Kilrain's lose, Paddy Ryan is free to pursue a rematch with Larry Foley.

McAlpine vs. Manno history
Dec. 29th, 1881: McAlpine beat Manno by TKO5

Ding.....Ding....Ding

Round 1: McAlpine comes out looking to knock Manno's head off. He had Manno hurt early and continued the assault. With about 20 seconds left in the round, McAlpine unloaded a series of shots that sent Manno into a daze. Manno gave himself a few seconds with a clinch, but after they were seperated, McAlpine unloaded again and Manno was out on his feet. The referee jumped in and stopped the fight as the round came to a close.

(To give an idea of how destroyed Manno was, the in game points for the round were 27 McAlpine, 0 for Manno)

The referee calls a stop to the fight at 2:57 of the 1st Round, your winner and NEW WBG WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, TOM McALPINE!

Some controversy after the fight as many though the ref should have given Manno a second chance in round 2. But considering how destroyed Manno was, not much came of it.

August 12th, 1882

Common Opponents

Ding....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: Burke started off by stunning McClellan with his first punch. McClellan recovered however, and survived the round. (Round to Burke, 10-9)

Round 2: A pretty slow round which Burke won with a few clean shots near the end. (Round to Burke, 20-18 Burke)

Round 3: Burke seems to have McClellan all figured out as Burke is controlling the entire round. McClellan can't seem to get anything going. (Round to Burke 30-27 Burke)

Round 4:
McClellan finally gets through and lands a crushing straight right that had Burke covering up for most of the round. (Round to McClellan, 39-37 Burke)

Round 5: McClellan easily wins the round. However, he was deducted a point for a low blow. (Round Even 9-9, 48-46 Burke)

Round 6: A slow round mostly controled by Burke. He landed a crushing uppercut to end the round. (Round to Burke, 58-55 Burke)

Round 7: Burke controled most of the round, but a late rally by McClellan makes the round close. (Round to Burke, 68-64 Burke)

Round 8: Burke hits the canvas with a minute left to go in a slow round. He answers the count and covers up for the rest of the round. He's still ahead on my score card, but will he come back from the knockdown? (Round to McClellan 10-8, 76-74 Burke)

Round 9: McClellan seems to have more energy at this point. Burke is starting to tire and I think the knockdown from the previous round took a bit out of Burke. McClellan easily dominates this round. (Round to McClellan, 85-84 Burke)

Round 10: Burke answers the round 8 knockdown with a wicked cross that put McClellan down early in the round. McClellan was out on his feet for a bit but manages to survive. (Round to Burke 10-8, 95-92 Burke)

Round 11: Burke started the round off well, but McClellan gets his head cleared and comes back strong. Near the end of the round, McClellan landed several huge shots that had Burke hurt. (Round to McClellan, 104-102 Burke)

Round 12: Both fighters took this round off. Neither did anything. (Round Even, 114-112 Burke)

Round 13: McClellan seemed to control most of the round, but Burke comes on strong and dominates the last minute, landing a few stunning shots that had McClellan hurt. (Round to Burke, 124-121 Burke)

Round 14: McClellan again controlled most of the round, except this time he landed several power shots that hurt Burke. Burke tried to come back late in the round. (Round to McClellan, 133-131 Burke)

Round 15: Burke completely dominates the last round, though nothing significant happened. (Round to Burke, 143-140 Burke)

My Scorecard: 143-140 Burke
Ringside Expert: 145-138 Burke

Judge 1 scores the bout 143-140 for Irish Jack Burke

Judge 2 scores the bout 144-141 for WC McClellan

Judge 3 scores the bout 143-140 for your winner.....and STILL MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, IRISH JACK BURKE!

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: McDonald completely controlled the entire round. Edwards couldn't get anything going. (Round to McDonald, 10-9)

Round 2: Opposite of the 1st round, Edwards completely dominated this round. As the bell close, Edwards landed the first hard shot of the fight so far. A solid hook that stunned McDonald. (Round to Edwards, 19-19)

Round 3: A slow round. With about 40 seconds left, Edwards started to unload on McDonald. (Round to Edwards, 29-28 Edwards)

Round 4: A close, back and forth round. A huge flurry at the end of the round steals it for McDonald. (Round to McDonald, 38-38)

Round 5: McDonald gets off to a nice start, but Edwards comes storming back and dominates most of the round. (Round to Edwards, 48-47 Edwards)

Round 6: A slow round with not much action. (Round to Edwards, 58-56 Edwards)

Round 7: A slow round again, but with a bit more going on than the previous round. This time McDonald gets a slight nod. (Round to McDonald, 67-66 Edwards)

Round 8: The fight has pretty much slowed to a crawl. Edwards was a bit busier. (Round to Edwards, 77-75 Edwards)

Round 9: A round much like the previous one. (Round to Edwards, 87-84 Edwards)

Round 10: McDonald lets loose. He dominated the round, but Edwards was never hurt. (Round to McDonald, 96-94 Edwards)

Round 11: McDonald seems to have waken up. Not as much as last round, but he controled the round. (Round to McDonald, 105-104 Edwards)

Round 12: A slower round. Edwards was the better this time. (Round to Edwards, 115-113 Edwards)

Round 13: McDonald went after Edwards in this round. He wins the round for his agressiveness and the punches he landed, but Edwards again was not hurt. (Round to McDonald, 124-123 Edwards)

Round 14: McDonald again went after Edwards. Edwards skillfully avoided his agression, but still got hit, but not hurt. He wasn't able to offer much of a counter attack, though. (Round to McDonald, 133-133 Even)

I have it even going into the final round. So does the ringside expert.

Round 15: McDonald again went after Edwards, but this time Edwards not only avoided him, but did give him a good counter attack and easily won the round. (Round to Edwards, 143-142 Edwards)

I have it 143-142 Edwards
The ringside expert has it 143-142 Edwards

Judge 1 scores the bout 144 to 141

WBG World Heavyweight Title Fight
Larry Foley vs. Jimmy Elliot
December 29th, 1882

Common Opponents
Jeffrey Caudle: Foley W KO1, Elliot W MD6
Charles Cooley: Foley W UD6, Elliot W UD6

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: A pretty even, slow round until the end when Foley unloaded on Elliot and had him stunned and covering up. (Round to Foley, 10-9)

Round 2: A replica of the 1st. An eve, back and forth round with not a lot of action until the end when Foley stunned Elliot again. (Round to Foley, 20-18 Foley)

Round 3: This was a back and forth round with some action. This time, it's Elliot putting the final touches to the round as he had Foley hurt at the end. (Round to Elliot, 29-28 Foley)

Round 4: A slow round. Elliot took charge at the opening bell, but Foley comes back after a minute and controls the round the rest of the way. (Round to Foley, 39-37 Foley)

Round 5: A slow, even round. Not much at all happened. (Round to Foley, 49-46 Foley)

Round 6: A very slow round that ended with Foley almost on the canvas. Elliot landed a crushing uppercut that had Foley out on his feet as the bell rang. (Round to Elliot, 58-56 Foley)

Round 7: A slow round with Foley controlling the action. (Round to Foley, 68-65 Foley)

Round 8: Finally, some action not happenign in just the final 10 seconds. A back and forth brawl occured in this round as both fighters were hurt and stunned at least twice. Foley got the better of it, though, as he had Elliot running for his life for much of the last 30 seconds. (Round to Foley, 78-74 Foley)

Round 9: Elliot's left eye is starting to swell up. Elliot came out looking to knock Foley down, and he had him stunned at one point, but Foley managed to keep Elliot away and scored some points from outside. (Round to Foley, 88-83 Foley)

Round 10: Elliot again comes out trying to knock Foley's head off, and this time Foley couldn't stay away. Elliot landed a lot of clean shots in this round and easily won it. (Round to Elliot, 97-93 Foley)

Round 11: Now Foley's left eye is showing signs of swelling. In this round, Foley essentially shut out Elliot as he gave a boxing clinic and had Elliot staggering a few times. (Round to Foley, 107-102 Foley)

Round 12: Foley drops Elliot at the start of the round. Elliot barely makes it back to his feet and spends over a minute taking punishment. With a minute left in the round, Elliot was completely out on his feet and the referee jumped in and stopped it.

The fight ends at 1:54 of the 12th round, your winner by technical knockout, and STILL WBG HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, LARRY FOLEY!

Where the heck is John L. Sullivan? You ask...well....

I kind of messed up. Everyone started with 1000 performance points (how the fighters are ranked). Except for 2...George "Old Chocolate" Godfrey and John L. Sullivan. I had accidently left their points at 0. So it's taking awhile for them to get into the top 10. They are right outside the top 10, though, and I expect to see both of them fighting major fights soon. (Currently Sullivan is 13th and Godfrey is 17th)

Round 1: Burke dominated the round and landed a couple of big shots. (Round to Burke, 10-9)

Round 2: Baker comes back strong and controls the action in the 2nd round. (Round to Baker, 19-19)

Round 3: Burke's left eye has started to swell. Hardly anything at all happened in his round. (Round to Burke, 29-28 Burke)

Round 4: Baker put a beating on Burke in this round. Not only did the swelling of Burke's left eye get much worse, but now his right eye has started to swell as well. (Round to Baker, 38-38)

Round 5: Burke comes on strong and wins the roung, but Baker put up a fight. (Round to Burke, 48-47 Burke)

Round 6: Burke comes on strong in the first minute, but Baker slowly gets back into. With 10 seconds left and the round looking even, Burke staggered Baker with a huge uppercut that most likely won him the round. The swelling around Burke's eyes is getting worse. (Round to Burke, 58-56 Burke)

Round 7: Baker completely dominated the round and now Burke's eyes are badly swollen. (Round to Baker, 67-66 Burke)

Round 8: Burke looked very tired out there, but he fought as hard as he could as Baker came at him. They went back and forth and in the end, it was impossible to choose a winner for the round. (Round Even, 77-76 Burke)

Round 9: Aside from a few power shots that hurt, Baker completely controled the round. (Round to Baker, 86-86 Even)

Round 10: Not much occured in the round until Baker came on strong with about 20 seconds left. (Round to Baker, 96-95 Baker)

Round 11: Another round where Burke doesn't do anything and Baker scores from the outside. (Round to Baker, 106-104 Baker)

Round 12: Burke came after Baker, but tired and his eyes half swollen shut, Burke wasn't able to to anything as Baker landed at will from outside. (Round to Baker, 116-113 Baker)

Round 13: The action continued as it had for the last couple of rounds. Burke manged to land a stunning hook that hurt Baker for a moment. As the round came to an end, baker managed to drop Burke to the canvas. Burke was saved by the bell (count of 1). (Round to Baker 10-8, 126-121 Baker)

Round 14: At this point, it's looking like Burke will ne a KO to win. He tried to get at Baker, but Baker easily avoided and landed at will. (Round to Baker, 136-130 Baker)

Round 15: Burke is just out of it. Baker was content to just stand back and land the occasional shot from the outside. (Round to Baker, 146-139 Baker)

I had it: 146-139 Billy Baker
Ringside Expert: 146-140 Billy Baker

All 3 judges score the bout the same, 146 to 139....all for your winner....and NEW WBG MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION OF ThE WORLD, BILLY BAKER

McAlpine vs. Langham
McAlpine won by KO9

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: Langham takes a slow first round (Round to Langham, 10-9)

Round 2: An even slower round. Langham is using his defense to keep McAlpine off of him. (Round to Langham, 20-18 Langham)

Round 3: A very close round won by McAlpine with some late action. (Round to McAlpine, 29-28 Langham)

Round 4: McAlpine landed a huge shot early in the round, but Langham covers well and McAlpine can't follow up on it. (Round to McAlpine, 38-38 Even)

Round 5: Langham controled the round, however, McAlpine was able to sneak in a stunning uppercut near the end. (Round to Langham, 48-47 Langham)

Round 6: A very slow round with hardly any action at all. (Round to Langham, 58-56 Langham)

Round 7: Some more action this round. Very close. (Round to McAlpine, 67-66 Langham)

Round 8: McAlpine lets it go this round and completely dominates it. He landed a few really hard shots and had Langham stunned and almost out a couple of times. It also looks as if McAlpine hurt his hand after a punch near the end of the round. (Round to McAlpine, 76-76 Even)

Round 9: McAlpine continued his assualt in this round. Langham's right eye starting to swell up pretty fast. (Round to McAlpine, 86-85 McApline)

Round 10: Another round with mcAlpine giving everything he can to Langham. Amazing that Langham hasn't hit the canvas yet, but the referee might not let this beating continue for much longer. (Round to McAlpine, 96-94 McAlpine)

Round 11: McAlpine slows it up some in this round. The swelling around Langham's right eye is getting bad now. (Round to McAlpine, 106-103 McAlpine)

Round 12: Another round with mcAlpine just beating up Langham. Langham's right eye is in terrible shape right now. (Round to McApline, 116-112 McAlpine)

Round 13: With about 13 seconds left in another round where McAlpine just let Langham have it, the ringside doctor stops the fight due to the immense swelling around Langham's right eye.

The doctor at ringside calls a halt to the bout at 2:47 of the 13th Round, your winner by technical knockout and STILL WBG WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, TOM McALPINE!

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: Kilrain wasted no time at all as he came out and landed a shot that hurt Foley. Kilrain completely dominated the round and had Foley stunned several times. (Round to Kilrain, 10-9)

Round 2: Just like that, Foley answers with a huge shot that sends Kilrain to the canvas at the beginning of the round. He answers the count only to have Foley, later in the round, land another shot that caused Kilrain to take a knee. Kilrain was slow to get up, but he beat the count only to have Foley go to work and land shot after shot. Despite it being very close to the end of the round, the referee jumps in to the stop the fight since Kilrain had no defense and was not returning any punches.

The referee calls a stop to the action at 2:58 of the 2nd round, you're winner and STILL WBG HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, LARRY FOLEY[

Round 2: Rickering stunned Maxx twice during the round, which puts him over the top and gives him the round. (Round to Tickering, 20-18 Tickering)

Round 3: Maxx got his shots in, but Tickering again does more and hurts Maxx a few times. (Round to Tickering, 30-27 Tickering)

Round 4: Tickering takes more control of the fight as Maxx barely does anything. (Round to Tickering 40-36 Tickering)

Round 5: Exactly as round 4, Tickering completely dominated the round. (Round to Tickering 50-45 Tickering)

Round 6: At this point, you have to wonder why to let this go on. Tickering is completely destroying Maxx right now. (Round to Tickering, 60-54 Tickering)

Round 7: The reason this is going on is because Tickering has no punching power at all. If he had, this would have been over a long time ago. As it is, Tickering continues to destroy Maxx. (Round to Tickering, 70-63 Tickering)

Round 8: More domination from Tickering. Maxx's right eye is swelling up very quickly. (Round to Tickering, 80-72 Tickering)

The fight comes to an end at 2:42 of the 9th round, your winner by knock out and STILL WBG BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, GERALD TICKERING!

Round 1: Carney starts off fast by dominating the first round. Taylor was hurt a couple of times. (Round to Carney, 10-9)

Round 2: Carney again starts off fast by hurting Taylor, but Taylor recovers quickly and takes full control of the round and had Carney on the ropes covering up when the round came to an end. (Round to Taylor, 19-19)

Round 3: A slower round this time with Taylor doing a bit better. (Round to Taylor, 29-28 Taylor)

Round 4:
Start off slow, but picked up quickly. It was back and forth but near the end, Taylor took complete control and landed a few combinations that staggered Carney. (Round to Taylor, 39-37 Taylor)

Round 5: Carney jumps out ahead quickly as he hurt Taylor early. He had Taylor covering up for most of the round. (Round to Carney, 48-47 Taylor)

Round 6: A slow round with Taylor hardly doing anything. Near the end, Carney let loose and just landed shot after shot. (Round to Carney, 57-57 Even)

Round 7: An action packed back and forth round. Too close to call. (Round Even, 67-67 Even)

Round 8: An even round for the first half, but Taylor takes control as Carney couldn't do anything the second half of the round. (Round to Taylor, 77-76 Taylor)

Round 9: Taylor jumps out ahead early as he lands a few hard shots. Not much happened the second half of the round. (Round to Taylor, 87-85 Taylor)

Round 10: Carney absolutely dominated the round. He had Taylor hurt through the whole round and just beat him from one corner to another. Good enough for a 10-8 round from me. (Round to Carney 10-8, 95-95 Even)

Round 11: The round started off slow, but Carney soon started landed some power punches and had Taylor on the defensive. Some swelling is now visible over Taylor's right eye and he is very tired. (Round to Carney, 105-104 Carney)

Round 12: The swelling is now getting pretty bad. Taylor's right eye has swollen very quickly. Carney now has complete control of the fight and I don't know how much longer Taylor will last. He's tired and has been beaten badly in the last couple of round, including this one. (Round to Carney, 115-113 Carney)

Round 13: Taylor started off on the defnesive and kept Carney at length. He held him off for a minute, but Carney got close enough and started pounding on him by the midway point in the round. (Round to Canrey, 125-122 Carney)

Round 14: Another round with Carney dominating the round. Taylor's right eye is now almost swollen shut. (Round to Carney, 135-131 Carney)

Round 15: As Carney beat on Taylor more and the eye got worse and worse, the referee stops the fight with about a minute to go and has the doctor check out Taylor. The doctor and referee seem to agree that the fight must be stopped.

The fight comes to an end at 1:59 of the 15th round, your winner by technical knock out, and NEW WBG LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, JEM CARNEY!

All of the judges had Carney a head by a few rounds as they all scored round 10 on for Carney.

Big upset with Jake over Peter Jackson......When are we going to see John L get a title shot?

Big upset with Jake over Peter Jackson......When are we going to see John L get a title shot?The winner of Mitchell vs. Foley will most likely defend against Sullivan, as long as he doesn't get upset sometime soon. The Jackson lose to Kilrain was a big upset. I figured it would be Jackson and Sullivan dominating the mid to late 1880's but Jackson's lose is a big set back, although it was a split decision lose so it's not as big a set back had it been a KO.

Since Sullivan didn't win the title until 1885, I'm trying to stretch it out a bit. That's why I gave the title shot to Mitchell. (Sullivan beat Dominick McCaffrey for the title in 1885 so I'm trying to push the title lineage to the historic way it happened)

Torpedo Billy Murphy and Stirling Stomp both raise their stock in big wins this month in their efforts to get a title shot with Juarez. Considering the controversial decision in Stomp's lose, he'll most likely get the rematch. It might be possible that Murphy and Stomp will fight to decide who get the title shot.

In other news, Foley and Sullivan will finally fight for the title. The fight is scheduled for sometime in January, but the date is not set yet.

"The Nonpariel" Jack Dempsey defeats top contender George LaBlanche. Dempsey's win over LaBlanche has catapulted him to the top of everyone's sights. He's now listed as #5 on the rankings. One or two more huge wins for the undefeated fighter could get him a title shot soon.

Two Shocking defeats. George LaBlanche lost by TKO in the 5th round to Jimmy Murray. LaBlanche dropped completely out of the Top 5 Middleweights with his lose to Jack Dempsey and this lose will take him out of title aspirations for quite awhile. Also on the radar is Irish Jack Burke, former middleweight champion, who has won 4 straigh.

Torpedo Billy Murphy also lost by TKO in the 9th round against Luis Fernando Molina. This shocking defeat takes him out of title contention and cements a rematch of Stirling Stomp vs. Fernando Juarez for the Featherweight title.

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: Juarez easily dominates the opening round. (Round to Juarez, 10-9)

Round 2: Juarez is giving a boxing clinic. He hurt Stomp midway through the round and Stomp barely escapes the round. (Round to Juarez, 20-18 Juarez)

Round 3: Juarez again hurts Stomp with a minute to go in the round. So far Juarez is showing that he is more than deserving to be champion. All of the talk of his controversial win must have motivated him to win decisivly tonight. (Round to Juarez, 30-27 Juarez)

Round 4: Now it's Stomp's turn to put the pressure. Juarez left himself open early in the round and was caught by Stomp. Juarez spent the round on the defensive. (Round to Stomp, 39-37 Juarez)

Round 5: Both have calmed down now and fighting a bit more defensively. Stomp opened up a cut over Juarez's left eye. (Round to Stomp, 48-47 Juarez)

Round 6: Juarez seemed to be back in control, but Stomp stunned him and went on an all out assault. (Round to Stomp, 57-57 Even)

Round 7: A very uneventful round. (Round to Juarez, 67-66 Juarez)

Round 8: Juarez wins a close, slow round. (Round to Juarez, 77-75 Juarez)

Round 9: Juarez's cut has reopened. Stomp hurt him near the end of the round and finally gets him down with 20 seconds left. Juarez gets up at the count of 9 and almost went down again within the few seconds that were left. (Round to Stomp 10-8, 85-85 Even)

Round 10: Sometimes the best defense is a good offense and Juarez came out and just let loose. He landed some good shots, but Stomp weathered the storm and got some of his own shots in too. Juarez is looking very tired out there now. (Round to Juarez, 95-94 Juarez)

Round 11: A slow round with Juarez getting the better. (Round to Juarez, 105-103 Juarez)

Round 12: A slow round with Stomp getting the better this time. (Round to Stomp, 114-113 Juarez)

Round 13: Juarez wins the round easily. However, with about 10 seconds to go in the round, Stomp reopens the cut over Juarez's left eye again and this time it has gotten far worse. Blood starts trickling down Juarez's face. The doctor takes a look at the cut and then the referee calls the fight.

The fight ends at 2:55 of the 13th round, your winner by technical knock out, and NEW WBG FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, STIRLING STOMP!


Another controversial decision. The referee calls a halt to the fight with only a few seconds left to go in the round. He didn't even give Juarez's corner a chance to work on the cut. As it turned out, Stomp was ahead on all 3 score cards, but it was close. Had Juarez won the 13th round, which seems likely, 2 of the 3 judges would have had the fight tied, leaving the last 2 rounds to decide the winner.

Only one thing is certain. It looks like we'll be going to a rubber match between these two.

WBG World Heavyweight Title Fight
January 22nd, 1885
Larry Foley (11-0-0 7KO)
vs
John L. Sullivan (22-0-0 18KO)

Common Opponents
James McCoy: Foley W UD6, Sullivan W TKO6
Jimmy Elliot: Foley W TKO12, Sullivan W TKO8, W UD10, W KO3, W TKO6

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: Sullivan comes out looking to take Foley's head off and gets a few shot in before Foley comes back and hurts Sullivan. Foley spends most of the round on the offensive. (Round to Foley, 10-9)

Round 2: Foley continues to control the fight. Sullivan gets a few shots. (Round to Foley, 20-18 Foley)

Round 3: Foleyu controls the action for a bit, but Sullivan finally get him cornered and goes to work on him. Foley is knocked down at the very end of the round and is saved by the bell on the count of 2. (Round to Sullivan 10-8, 28-28 Even)

Round 4: A slow round until halfway through the round when Sullivan lands a shot that opens a bad cut over Foley's right eye. It's on the outside so might not cause the fight to end. Sullivan dominates the round from then on. (Round to Sullivan, 38-37 Sullivan)

Round 5: Foley turns the tide and nails Sullivan with a huge shot that sends him to the canvas. Sullivan can't get back to his feet. Just like that, it's over!

The fight comes to an end at 0:59 of the 5th round, your winner by knock out, and STILL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, LARRY FOLEY!

Common Opponents
Harry Gilmore: Carney W UD10, Myer W MD10, W TechUD7

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: Carney completely dominated the round with ease. He had Myer on the defensive the entire time. (Round to Carney, 10-9)

Round 2: Myer comes back and dominates this round. It wasn't as one sided as the first round, but Myer does a great job in evening the fight up early. (Round to Myer, 19-19 Even)

Round 3: Myer again dominates the round, however, Carney was able to open up a cut on Myer's right eyebrow. It looks bad and this fight may be stopped soon. (Round to Myer, 29-28 Myer)

Round 4: The bleeding over Myer's right eye has slowed and he dominates yet another round. Carney is carrying his hands low. (Round to Myer, 39-37 Myer)

Round 5: Myer starts off good, but Carney manages to reopen the cut and it is bleeding badly. The referee took a look and is stopping the fight.

The referee calls a halt to the fight at 1:29 of the 5th round. Your winner, by technical knock out, and STILL WBG LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, JEM CARNEY!

Myer was clearly winning the fight and it's unfortunate that the fight was stopped on cuts. Myer will definately be getting a rematch.

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: The round started off even, but Murphy stunned Stomp midway through the round and took control from then on. (Round to Murphy, 10-9)

Round 2: An uneventful round with Stomp getting the better. (Round to Stomp, 19-19 Even)

Round 3: Stomp was winning another uneventful round when Murphy dropped him near the end. Stomp got up on the count of 8 and finished off the remaining seconds of the round. (Round to Murphy 10-8, 29-27 Murphy)

Round 4: A very active, back and forth round. Stomp did a bit more, but Murphy got plenty of shots in. (Round to Stomp, 38-37 Murphy)

Round 5: Again, Stomp does a bit more. Stomp seems content to sit back and try to score his points while Murphy tries to load up on one punch. He floored Stomp once earlier in the fight, but can he win a decision if Stomp lasts all 15 round? (Round to Stomp, 47-47 Even)

Round 6: Murphy drops Stomp again, and this time it was early in the round. Stomp got up quickly and survived a 2 minute lonf beating. I don't think he can last much longer, though. (Round to Murphy 10-8, 57-55 Murphy)

Round 7: Murphy is now getting inside and doing some damage. He opened a cut over Stomps left eye, and it looks to be in a bad spot. (Round to Murphy, 67-64 Murphy)

Round 8: Stomp wakes up this round and goes to work. He caught Murphy off guard and easily dominates the round. (Round to Stomp, 76-74 Murphy)

Round 9: Stomp is tired. That last round took all of the energy he had and now he's once again taking a beating from Murphy. (Round to Murphy, 86-83 Murphy)

Round 10: An uneventful round until the last few seconds when Murphy landed a shot that opened up gash under Stomp's right eye. The bleeding is pretty heavy, but lucky for Stomp, it happened at the very end of the round. (Round to Murphy, 96-92 Murphy)

Round 11: An uneventful round. Murphy did a bit more. (Round to Murphy, 106-101 Murphy)

Round 12: Murphy managed to open up the cut over Stomp's left eye, but he didn't do much else. Stomp easily wins the round on points. (Round to Stomp, 115-111 Murphy)

Round 13: Murphy wins the round easily by outworking Stomp, but at the very last second of the round, Murphy drops Stomp for the 3rd time in the fight. Stomp is saved by the bell at the count of one, but most important, the shot that dropped him opened up yet another cut, this time over Stomp's right eye. (For those keeping score: Stomp has a cut over his left eye, under his right eye and now, over his right eye). Stomp's face is a bloody mess. (Round to Murphy 10-8, 125-119 Murphy)

Round 14: Murphy wins another round where he reopens one of Stomp's cuts (cut over the left eye). (Round to Murphy, 135-128 Murphy)

Round 15: Murphy puts the final mark on this fight by dropping Stomp twice. The second time came at the end of the round, thus saving Stomp by the bell again. (Round to Murphy 10-7, 145-135 Murphy)

My scorecard: 145-135 Murphy
Ringside Expert: 145-138 Murphy

After 15 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards

Judge 1 scores the bout 145-134
Judge 2 scores the bout 146-133
Judge 3 scores the bout 144-135

all for your winner by unanimous decision, and NEW WBG FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, TORPEDO BILLY MURPHY

Baker vs. Burke History
Jan. 24, 1883: Baker W UD15 (WBG MW Title Fight)

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: A close, active round. Burke barely did better, but they both got their shots in. (Round to Burke, 10-9)

Round 2: A slower round, but Baker was the clear winner this time. (Round to Baker, 19-19 Even)

Round 3: Baker did a bit better for the first two minutes, but Burke really let into him for the final minute to win the round. (Round to Burke, 29-28 Burke)

Round 4: Burke got inside and started to work. He landed a few bombs that stunned Baker. This is what Burke needs to do and couldn't do the last time they fought. Baker kept his distance and scored at will. Burke needs to keep up the pressure if he is going to win. (Round to Burke, 39-37 Burke)

Round 5: Burke really let Baker have it this round. He landed heavy shot after heavy shot. Baker's right eye has begun to swell up a bit. Baker just can't keep away from Burke. (Round to Burke, 49-46 Burke)

Round 6: Baker finally was able to keep his distance and land a shot here and there from a distance. Burke may have taken the round off. (Round to Baker, 58-56 Baker)

Round 7: A slow round for awhile, but Burke landed a shot that stunned Baker and got him covering up for the final 30 seconds of the round. (Round to Burke, 68-65 Burke)

Round 8: Burke continues to pressure Baker and the swelling over Baker's right eye is worsening. (Round to Burke, 78-74 Burke)

Round 9: Burke really stepped it up this round and beat Baker from one corner to another. Baker's left eye is now starting swell up. Baker is taking a lot of punishment and he just doesn't have the energy to keep away from Burke. (Round to Burke, 88-83 Burke)

Round 10: Baker must have summoned some super-human power because he was on fire this round. He landed blow and blow and Burke had no answer. Baker dominated the round. (Round to Baker, 97-93 Burke)

Round 11: Burke drops Baker after a minute of controlling the fight. Baker gets up and gets destroyed by Burke. Baker goes down a second time. He managed to get up, but he was exhausted. He took shot after shot and could not defend himself. The referee jumped in even though there was only a few seconds left in the round.

The referee stops the fight at 2:56 of the 11th Round. Your winner, by technical knock out, and NEW WBG MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, IRISH JACK BURKE!

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: Sullivan comes out throwing like a mad man. He pressures Foley and drops bomb after bomb on him. He just destroys the champion. He isn't going to let a, as he called it, "lucky punch" catch him this time. He's out for blood. Foley's right eye is swelling up and he's bleeding from the mouth. Sullivan drops Foley with about 20 seconds to go in the round and Foley could not get up. Just like that, it's over!

The fight ends at 2:48 of the 1st Round, your winner by knock out, and NEW WBG HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, JOHN L. SULLIVAN!


What incredible, yet short, fights these two had. In the first one, Foley started off good, Sullivan took over and dominated, but Foley stormed back in the 5th round and knocked out Sullivan. In this one, Sullivan just bulldozes through Foley and KOs him in the first round. (And, for players of the game, this was the first time I saw a fighter reach 40 points in a round. Incredible destruction.)

WBG World Welterweight Title
December 12th, 1885
Tom McAlpine (15-0-0 12KO)
vs.
Bryan Towers (22-9-1 7KO)

McAlpine vs. Towers History
McAlpine W UD6
McAlpine W TKO1
McAlpine W TKO3

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: No surprises here as no one is expecting a long fight. McAlpine is turely uncontested in the welterweight division. After waiting over a year for a real challenge to develop, the best out there, the number 1 contender, is Bryan Towers. McAlpine did what everyone expected him to do, and that is to give Towers a beating. By the end of the round, Towers' left eye is swelling and he has a cut over his right eye. A 10-8 round because of how one sided it was (Round to McAlpine 10-8, 10-8)

Round 2: McAlpine slowed up a bit in this round as there is no need to take chances or try very hard. He wins the round easily. (Round to McAlpine, 20-17 McAlpine)

Round 3: At the start of the round, McAlpine landed a shot to Towers' right eye which tore open the cut. The bleeding was just too severe and the referee stops the fight.

The referee stops the fight at 0:47 of the 3rd round. Your winner by technical knock out, and STILL WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, TOM McALPINE!

A Look at the Champions

Heavyweights
John L Sullivan (26-1-1 21KO)
Won title: Sept 20th, 1885 vs. Larry Foley by KO1

Possible Challengers: Larry Foley won the first fight between them in January of 1885. He'll be looking to get a 3rd match with Sullivan, although he recent draw with John Donaldson dropped hima few places in the rankings. The word is Foley's age has caught up with him and he's done.

Other challengers include Jake Kilrain and Charley Mitchell. Kilrain lasted 10 rounds against Sullivan, losing a Unanimous Decision. Mitchell, the #2 ranked heavyweight, has never fought Sullivan. One last viable challenger would be Peter Jackson, although he's lost a few and has been very inactive. His 2 loses were to Sullivan (by TKO6) and Kilrain (by SD10)


Middleweights
Irish Jack Burke (20-3-0 16KO)
Won title on Sept. 20, 1885 vs. Billy Baker by TKO11

This is Burke's second reign as middleweight champion. He first won the title on 4/14/1882 by beating Jimmy Murray. He lost the title a year later to Billy Baker.

Possible Challengers: In his time between reigns, Burke only lost twice out of 14 fights. Bob Turnball beat him by MD10 (avenged a year later by KO10) and George LaBlanche. Both loses occured in 1883.

Billy Baker will definately be looking for a rematch. The last possible challenger, and the most obvious, would be newcomer Jack Dempsey. He's won all 13 of his fights, 11 by KO. Most experts predict that once he gets his shot, he'll have a long reign as champion.

Welterweights
Tom McAlpine (16-0-0 13KO)
Won Title on 7/29/1882 vs Nick Manno by TKO1

He has defended the title 4 times since winning the title. He's won all of his defense by KO.

Possible Challengers: Not many. Paddy Duffy and Paddy Sullivan look like they have the ability to give McAlpine a challenge, but both are pretty inconsistent. Jack C McGee was well on his way to a title shot, but he's lost his last two fights.

Lightweights
Jem Carney (12-0-0 7KO)
Won Title on 10/21/1883 vs George Taylor by TKO15

Lucky to have his title. Was losing to Billy Myer when he was awarded the fight based on cuts.

Possible Challengers: Billy Myer will be getting a rematch. After that, Billy Edwards, a former lightweight champion, recently drew Myer and could be looking to get another shot.

Newcomer Jack McAuliffe, undefeated in his 16 fights (14 by KO), beat Billy Edwards last year by UD10 and has won his last 3 fights by KO.

Featherweights
Torpedo Billy Murphy (20-2-0 14KO)
Won Title on 8/11/1885 vs Stirling Stomp by UD15

Possible Challengers: Stirling Stomp should get a rematch, as he is the former champ. Newcomer Fred Johnson (16-1-0 9KO) looks like he can give Murphy a tough challenge.

Bantamweights
Bill Baxter (16-2-1 6KO)
Won Title on 2/2/1885 vs Gerald Tickering by UD15

Fought for the belt on 2/3/1883 as well, losing to Tickering by UD15

Possible Challengers: Baxter and Tickering are going to fight for the 3rd time in February for the title. Youngster Nelson Moreno (11-0-0 4KO) looks like he could give Baxter or Tickering a challenge as well.

Tom McApline Retires

Reigning welterweight champion, Tom McAlpine, has decided to hang up his gloves for good at the age of 42. The old time champion has dominated the division since its creation several years ago and was the first fighter to win the WBG Welterweight Title. He has successfully defended the title 4 times since winning it in 1882, winning all fights by knockout.

Had he desired, he could have dominated this weak division for several more years. There was also specualtion of him moving up in weight to fight for the middleweight crown. But at 42, he said it was time to retire.

The WBG World Welterweight Title is now vacant. The WBG has stated it is setting up a tournament to decide the new champion, as there is no clear-cut #1 welterweight out there.

Jem Carney (12-0-0 7KO)
vs
Billy Myer (15-2-1 10KO)

Carney vs. Myer
May 19, 1885 - Carney win TKO5, stopped on cuts

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: The champion comes out swinging. He doesn't want any questions after this bout. He lands several hard shots and already has Myer's right eye swelling up. (Round to Carney, 10-9)

Round 2: Myer answers back in this round, dominating much of the action. When the bell rang to end the round, Carney showed visible signs of swelling over his right eye. Both men are out to hurt each other. (Round to Myer, 19-19 Even)

Round 3: Carney goes to work. He comes back in this round and beat up Myer pretty badly. The swelling for both fighters is getting worse, but Myer was hurt several times in the round, and is now carrying his hand low. He looks tired and beaten already. (Round to Carney, 29-28 Carney)

Round 4: A more even round. Myer comes out, trying to gain back control, but Carney does his job and keeps Myer off of him. Carney controlled most of the action. (Round to Carney, 39-37 Carney)

Round 5: Carney landed several power shots this round and hurt Myer pretty badly. The swelling over Myer's right eye has gotten terrible. I'm not sure he can see out of that eye anymore. Both fighters look beaten, but Myer is far worse. (Round to Carney, 49-46 Carney)

Round 6: Close round as Carney looks to not to want to take any chances. He wins a very close round. Myer is looking exhausted out there. It might not be long before the referee stops the fight on account of the massive swelling over Myer's right eye. (Round to Carney, 59-55 Carney)

Round 7: Carney is landing power shots at will as the swelling has gotten extreme. I can't see how this fight can go on much longer. Myer obviously can't see out of his right eye, and he can barely keep his hands up to defend himself. (Round to Carney, 69-64 Carney)

Round 8: The referee looked at the swelling twice this round but let the fight continue. As the round neared its end, Myer was dropped by Carney. He managed to get to his feet, but barely. The referee took one look at him and waved his arms. Myer had had enough.

The referee stops the fight at 2:58 of the 8th round, your winner by technical knock out, and STILL WBG LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, JEM CARNEY

Ding......Ding.....Ding

Round 1: The round started off slow, but Baxter quickly takes control of the fight. He had Tickering on the defensive for most of the round. (Round to Vaxter, 10-9)

Round 2: The round started off even, with both fighters scoring points here and there, but Baxter took over in the last minute and now Tickering's right eye is showing some swelling. (Round to Baxter, 20-18 Baxter)

Round 3: Baxter remains in total control. He lands a shot here and there, and Tickering can't seem to land anything in this round. (Round to Baxter, 30-27 Baxter)

Round 4: Tickering shows signs of life for the first minute, but Baxter comes storming back and had Tickering running for much of the round. (Round to Baxter, 40-36 Baxter)

Round 5: Baxter opens up a cut over Tickering's already swelling right eye. The cut isn't bad right now, but it's right over the eyebrow and could cause problems later in the fight. (Round to Baxter, 50-45 Baxter)

Round 6: Baxter continues to dominate Tickering. (Round to Baxter, 60-54 Baxter)

Round 7: The cut over Tickering's right eye has worsen and is now visibly bothering Tickering. Baxter landed several power shots that hurt Tickering and Tickering's right eye, both cut and swelling, is looking very badly. (Round to Baxter, 70-63 Baxter)

Round 9: Baxter continues his domination. He doesn't want to take any chances and is just winning it outside now. (Round to Baxter, 90-81 Baxter)

Round 10: Baxter wins yet another round. He seems content to just sit back, score points and wait for Tickering to open himself up and catch him with a counter. So far, he's winning the fight big. (Round to baxter, 100-90 Baxter)

Round 11: Yet another round for Baxter. The referee is getting close to stopping this fight. Tickering isn't showing much offense. (Round to Baxter, 110-99 Baxter)

Round 12: Another easy round for Baxter. (Round to Baxter, 120-108 Baxter)

Round 13: Baxter was coasting to another round won when he lands a shot late in the round that worsens the cut over Tickering's right eye yet again. The referee stops the fight, saying the cut has gotten too bad.

The fight ends at 2:41 of the 13th round, your winner by tchnical knockout, and STILL WBG BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, BILL BAXTER!

Murphy vs Moonshine History
8/26/1884 - Murphy won KO9

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: A slow, uneventful round. Murphy did a bit more. (Round to Murphy, 10-9)

Round 2: Another uneventful round until Moonshine was dropped by a devestating combination, but Moonshine was saved by the bell (Round to Murphy 10-8, 20-17 Murphy)

Round 3: Another uneventful round. Other than the knockdown, nothing has really happened. (Round to Murphy, 30-26 Murphy)

Round 4: Murphy opened up in this round and landed shot after shot. Moonshine was hurt several times. (Round to Murphy, 40-35 Murphy)

Round 5: Another round just like round 4, Moonshine got beat up. (Round to Murphy, 50-44 Murphy)

Round 6: A pretty unevenful round. Moonshine looks really tired out there. (Round to Murphy, 60-53 Murphy)

Round 7: Another round with Murphy beating on Moonshine. Moonshine's right eye is now visibly swollen. (Round to Murphy, 70-62 Murphy)

Round 8: Another one sided round. It's now only a matter of time before Moonshine is knocked out (hopefully). (Round to Murphy, 80-71 Murphy)

Round 9: Moonshine actually got a few shots in, but Murphy again dominated the round. (Round to Murphy, 90-80 Murphy)

Round 10: Murphy opened up a cut over Moonshine's left eye, but it's on the outside of the eyebrow so it probably won't be much trouble. Unlike Muphy has been for Moonshine, that is. Another one sided round for the champ. (Round to Murphy, 100-89 Murphy)

Round 11: Another one sided round. Not much reason for this fight to continue. (Round to Murphy, 110-98 Murphy)

Round 12: One sided round with Moonshine going down once. (Round to Murphy 10-8, 120-106 Murphy)

Round 13: Moonshine goes down again and survives the round. (Round to Murphy 10-8, 130-114 Murphy)

Round 14: Another one sided round. The referee finally stops the fight near the end of the round.

The referee stops the fight at 2:30 of the 14th round, your winner by technical knockout, and STILL WBG FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, TORPEDO BILLY MURPHY!

Larry Foley shockingly loses to 16th rank Harry Woodson by unanimous decision. A lose a fighter outside of the top 10 effectively takes him out of the title picture. Foley has been very disappointing since losing his title. He drew John Donaldson, went on to win a majority decision against Charles Hadley (ranked 17 at the time) and has now lost a un. decision to a 16th ranked fighter. The time might have come for Larry Foley to retire. He has definately passed his prime.

Am I wrong in remembering reading somewhere that back in the old days, there were unlimited number of rounds and that some fights went 30-40 rounds.

Or maybe I'm just confusing reality with the Bugs Bunny boxing cartoon I loved as a kid.

No your right, pre 1900 Fights often went to a finish and even in the early 1900's through the Teens fights were scheduled for 20 rounds or more. Unfortunately TB2 doesn't have an option to go more than 15 rounds.

Right. The rules back then were very different.

If you look at the fight history of a lot of fighters, you'll see a LOT of 3 round exhibitions. That's one way a fighter made money back then. You take two high profile fighters, and they basically toured the country, fighting 3 round exhibitions (imagine if, say, Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins went from city to city, fighting 3 round exhibitons. That sort of thing happened a lot back then)

But back in the bareknuckle era (London Prize Ring rules), rounds lasted until a fighter was kncoked down. If you played Fight Night Round 3 (and Round 2 had it I think), the Hard Hits rules are similar to how the rounds went. When a fighter was knocked down, the round would be over. When the next round started, if the fighter how got knocked down could not continue, it was ruled a KO (I think the fighter had to make it back to his corner within a certain amount of time too or have it ruled a KO).

These are the fights you hear about going into the 40+ round range. John L. Sullivan's last bareknuckle defense against Jake Kilrain lasted 75 rounds, but lasted an hour and a half (which averages out to a little over 1 minute per round).

As BYU points out, TB2 does not simulate these kinds of fights. And the max round limit in the game is 15 rounds (plus, back then and for much of boxing's history, decisions were decided by the referee, not a panel of judges. That part is available in TB2, tho). That's why I started off the dynasty by making it an alternate history type dynasty. "What if they fought with the same rules that fighters fight with now" sort of thing.

John P Clow: Burke W UD10, Dempsey W KO8
George LaBlanche: Burke L TKO6, Dempsey W KO10

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: A back and forth, semi-active round. Burke did a bit more. (Round to Burke, 10-9 Burke)

Round 2: Dempsey started off good, but Burke landed a shot that staggered Dempsey for a bit. But Dempsey came back and had Burke stunned and hurt late in the round. (Round to Dempsey, 19-19 Even)

Round 3: A slow round that saw Burke do nothing. Dempsey scored here and there, and as the round closed, he poured it on and had Burke hurt again. (Round to Dempsey, 29-28 Dempsey)

Round 4: Lot sof punches thrown this round. Burke went on the offensive and had Dempsey hurt. Dempsey got his shots in too. (Round to Burke, 38-38 Even)

Round 5: De,psey started off the round by hurting Burke and was all over him the entire round. (Round to Dempsey, 48-47 Dempsey)

Round 6: Again Dempsey starts off with a hard shot that staggers Burke, and again, Burke spends most of the round getting hit with clean shots. The last two rounds have taken a bit out of the champ. (Round to Dempsey, 58-56 Dempsey)

Round 7: It looks like this is becoming Dempsey's fight. He spends another round mostly giving out punishment. Burke did get a nice shot in near the end of the round that stunned Dempsey, but too little, too late. (Round to Dempsey, 68-65 Dempsey)

Round 8: A very close round. Some swelling is now visible over Dempsey's right eye. The champ kept it close, and did a bit more. (Round to Burke, 77-75 Dempsey)

Round 9: Burke turned the tide for most of the round where he got a shot in that put Dempsey on the defensive. However, Dempseystormed back at the end, landing several shots of his own. (Round to Burke, 86-85 Dempsey)

Round 10: Action clowed down some. Dempsey wins an uneventful round. (Round to Dempsey, 96-94 Dempsey)

Round 11: They made up for the lack of action in this round. It went back and forth, but as the round closed, Burke landed a couple of nice shots to punctuate the round. (Round to Burke, 105-104 Dempsey)

Round 12: Burke completely controls the round, but nothing of note really happened. (Round to Burke, 114-114 Even)

Round 13: Dempsey now wrestles control away. He started off by hurting Burke at the beginning of the round, but didn't do much afterwards. (Round to Dempsey, 124-123 Dempsey)

Round 14: Dempsey was all over Burke in this round as he totally dominated the champion. (Round to Dempsey, 134-132 Dempsey)

Round 15: A pretty uneventful round with Dempsey controlling. (Round to Dempsey, 144-141 Dempsey)

It evened up after 12, but Dempsey wins the last few rounds. Might be interesting socring here...

My score: 144-141 Dempsey
Ringside Expert: 145-141 Dempsey

After 15 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards.

Judge 1 scores the bout 145-140 for Jack Demspey
Judge 2 scores the bout 143-142 for Irish Jack Burke
Judge 3 scores the bout 145-140 for your winner......by split decision......

and NEW WBG MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, "THE NONPARIEL" JACK DEMPSEY!

May 1886 Results

The downfall of former champion Larry Foley continues, as he lost by KO9 to a middle aged journeyman named George "Old Chocolate" Godfrey. The lose pretty much seals his fate. Climbing back up the ranks at his age will be close to impossible as this marks his 2nd lose in a row to a low ranked fighter and has taken him entirely out of the top 10.

Jake Kilrain also stumbled. He was getting in line for a title shot when he shockingly lost a decision to journeyman Al Greenfield. He slips far down the ranks as well. As a result, Peter Jackson finds himself sitting in the #1 contender spot.

June 1886 Results

El-Shamy Dida, a fighter from Ethiopia now fighting in the US, defeated Bubba Moonshine to set himself up for a title shot at Torpedo Billy Murphy. Looks liek that fight is on for August.

Peter Jackson and Jake Kilrain fought to a draw this month, putting in doubts Jackson's chance at a title shot. However, with Larry Foley and Kilrain both still low in the rankings, Peter Jackson is the only real fight out there for the champion.

George LaBlanche and WC McClellan also fought to a technical draw this month. Both were looking to jump into the #1 contender spot, but both stay just short as the former champion, Irish Jack Burke, still sits there.

Sept. 29th, 1886
Bill Baxter (17-2-1 7KO)
vs.
Nelson Moreno (14-0-0 4KO)

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: The champion takes an uneventful first round. (Round to Baxter, 10-9 Baxter)

Round 2: Another uneventful round goes to the champ. (Round to Baxter, 20-18 Baxter)

Round 3: Baxter opens up in this round and lands a lot of shots. (Round to Baxter, 30-27 Baxter)

Round 4: Moreno fights back in this round. Not all that much happened, but Moreno kept the pressure on and did more than the champ. (Round to Moreno, 39-37 Baxter)

Round 5: Moreno dominates the round by landing shot after shot. None of the punches hurt Baxter, but he kept the champ confused. (Round to Moreno, 48-47 Baxter)

Round 6: Doesn't get more uneventful than this round. What a dud. (Round to Baxter, 58-56 Baxter)

Round 7: The crowd is starting to get restless. (Round to Moreno, 67-66 Baxter)

Round 8: Baxter opened a cut on the outside of Moreno's right eye. Doesn't look like it will effect Moreno. Other than that, neither fighter really got the upper hand. (Round to Baxter, 77-75 Baxter)

Round 9: Baxter looked like he was going to dominated the round, but Moreno fought back and, in my mind, evened up the round. (Round Even, 87-85 Baxter)

Round 10: Another uneventful round. This entire fight is turning out to be a dud. (Round to Baxter, 97-94 Baxter)

Round 11: The action picks up a bit. Moreno wins a close round. (Round to Moreno, 106-104 Baxter)

Round 12: Finally, some good action. Baxter laid into Moreno and had him hurt late in the round. (Round to Baxter, 116-113 Baxter)

Round 13: Baxter has really taken control of the fight as he dominated the round. Moreno is now going to need a KO to win (are a few knockdowns) to win. (Round to baxter, 126-122 Baxter)

Round 14: And the fight goes back to boring, uneventfulness. (Round to Baxter, 136-131 Baxter)

Round 15: Baxter opens up the cut again and wins the last, semi-active round. (Round to Baxter, 146-140 Baxter)

After 15 rounds fo action, we go to the scorecards...

Judge 1 scores the bout 145-142
Judge 2 scores the bout 144-143, and
Judge 3 scores the bout 146-141, all for your winner by unanimous decision...

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: The round started off fast, but slowed down pretty quickly. A very close round, with a slight nod in the favor of Sullivan. (Round to Sullivan, 10-9 Sullivan)

Round 2: Jackson simply dominated the round, using his speed and tectical skill to stay away from Sullivan's incredible power. (Round to Jackson, 19-19 Even)

Round 3: A very slow, uneventful round. (Round to Sullivan, 29-28 Sullivan)

Round 4: Jackson got caught early and went to the canvas. He gets up quickly, but takes brutal punishment before being sent to the canvas a second time. He barely made it up at the cound of 9 and survives the round. (Round to Sullivan 10-7, 39-35 Sullivan)

Round 5: Jackson walks into a devastating hook at the beginning of the round and hits the canvas for the 3rd time in the fight. He gets to his feet and nearly survives the round, but he took way too much punishment and with onyl a few seconds to go in the round, it was obvious that Jackson could not defend himself and the referee stops the fight.

The fight ends at 2:57 of the 5th round, your winner by technical knock out, and STILL WBG HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, JOHN L. SULLIVAN!

December 1886 Results

It's been over 2 1/2 years since WC McClellan fought Billy Baker for the middleweight title, losing by a majority decision. Since then, he's fought 13 times, with a record of 10-2-1, with 6 KOs. This month, he defeated previously unbeaten Bill Gabig and has secured his place in the top 5 at #2 and looks like he might be able to get himself another title shot. He's 0-2 in title fights, losing to Billy Baker and Irish Jack Burke. If he can keep up his recent success, he may just get the chance at his 3rd.

January 1887 Results

Larry Foley Retires - In his last attampt to try to secure a 3rd match with John L. Sullivan, Larry Foley lost a majority decision to Peter Jackson, who is currently the #1 contender. While a majority decision lose would suggest the he still has the skills to compete with the top ranked fighters, Foley has said that his time to retire has come.

Foley defeated the first heavyweight champion recognized by the WBG, Paddy Ryan, on March 7th, 1882 by knockout in the 14th round. After that, he successfuly defended the title 4 times over the course of 3 years. He defeated heavily favored challenger John L. Sullivan by KO in the 5th round on January 22nd, 1885 and then lost the rematch later that year when he was knocked out in the 1st round. The public was looking forward to a rematch, but Foley lost a unanimous decision to journeyman Harry Woodson early in 1886 when talks of the 3rd match were just starting. He was unable to recover in the rankings after that shocking lose.

Since losing the title to Sullivan, Foley has gone 6-4-1 with 1 win by KO. His career record stands at 18-5-1 with 9 KO.

Cadaress vs. Sullivan History
10-14-1885: Cadaress won UD10

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: Cadaress started off the round with a few shots, but Sullivan took control and dominated most of the round. (Round to Sullivan, 10-9 Sullivan)

Round 2: Sullivan spent the first half of the round scoring points, but halfway through, Cadaress landed a huge shot that sent Sullivan into the ropes and on the defensive for the rest of the round. (Round to Cadaress, 19-19 Even)

Round 3: Sullivan reestablishes his domination in this round as Cadaress couldn't get anything going. (Round to Sullivan, 29-28 Sullivan)

Round 4: Cadaress again catches Sullivan and spends the round chasing him. A bit of swelling is now visible over Sullivan's right eye. (Round to Cadaress, 38-38 Even)

Round 5: A very close round with not much action. Sullivan barely wins the round. (Round to Sullivan, 48-47 Sullivan)

Round 6: A very boring round. (Round to Sullivan, 58-56 Sullivan)

Round 7: And the fight has slowed to a crawl. (Round to Cadaress, 67-66 Sullivan)

Round 8: Picking up a bit as Cadaress landed a few nice shots. (Round to Cadaress, 76-76 Even)

Round 9: Sullivan woke up in this round and dominated the first 2 minutes, but went back to sleep in the last minute as the round became a dud in the final minute. (Round to Sullivan, 86-85 Sullivan)

Round 10: Action starts picking ip a bit. (Round to Sullivan, 96-94 Sullivan)

Round 11: Sullivan asserted his control in the second half of this round by dominating the action. (Round to Sullivan, 106-103 Sullivan)

Round 12: A lot of action. Sullivan landed some punches, but Cadaress landed a few power shots that dictated the action as he had Sullivan on the run. (Round to Cadaress, 115-113 Sullivan)

Round 13: Cadaress was knocked down at the beginning of the round. He got up at the count of 7 and spent a good minute taking punishment before the action died back down. (Round to Sullivan 10-8, 125-121 Sullivan)

Round 14: A semi-action filled round. Sullivan did the better. (Round to Sullivan, 135-130 Sullivan)

Round 15: Both fighters are tired for this last round. Cadaress comes out looking for the KO, but can't muster up much of anything. He barely wins the final round. (Round to Cadaress, 144-140 Sullivan)

My score: 144-140 Sullivan
Ringside Expert: 144-140 Sullivan

After 15 rounds of action, we go to the score cards

Whats in store for Sullivan next Sabs? Anyone in the HW top 10 he hasn't beaten?
Probably Kilrain. They fought once, with Sullivan winning by UD10. Sullivan faced Chandler before his first fight with Foley, knocking him out in the 1st round. Kilrain and Chandler also faced once, Kilrain won by TKO3.

Since Sullivan beat Jackson so soundly, I don't think he should get an immediate rematch.

EDIT: A few people in the Top 10 he hasn't faced, but they are either old and falling, or young and raising. Pat Killen is 28-4-0 (24KO) and just hit #6 on the rankings. One or two more wins and he's right in there. He doesn't have the best skills, but he has a lot of power. (Looking over the ratings, he has the most power in the top 10 and has equal the power to Sullivan)

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: Lots of action in the first. Myer starts off strong, McAullife rallies but Myer finishes the round strong. (Round to Myer, 10-9 Myer)

Round 2: Myer again starts off well, and again McAullife rallies. However, McAullife keeps up the pressure and has Myer hurting by the time the round ends. (Round to McAullife, 19-19 Even)

Round 3: Myer hurt McAullife early in the round. He keeps up the pressure and fights off anoher McAullife rally. (Round to Myer, 29-28 Myer)

Round 4: The two fighters keep up the attack. Both are fighting very offensively. As the fight goes back and forth, this round is McAullife's. (Round to McAullife, 38-38 Even)

Round 5: Myer dominated the round as he had McAullife hurt early in the round and kept up the attack. (Round to Myer, 48-47 Myer)

Round 6: Myer drops McAullife halfway through the round. McAullife had been having a good round, but Myer put a stop to that with a cross that dropped him. McAullife answers at the count of 7 and covers up for the rest of the round. (Round to Myer 10-8, 58-55 Myer)

Round 7: Myer hurt McAullife early in the round, but McAullife fights back hard. He rallies in the last minute and had Myer out on his feet. He landed shot after shot. Myer refused to go down but the referee jumps in and stops the fight after McAullife landed a right that made Myer's eyes roll back. Controversial decision as it happens with just 2 seconds left in the round.

The referee stops the fight at 2:58 of the 7th round, your winner and STILL WBG LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, JACK McAULLIFE!!

Billy Myer and his people were furious after the fight. He claimed the referee just waited for the right time to jump in and stop the fight so that McAullife could keep the title. (He says this while the swelling on his left eye was so bad, he couldn't see out of it). He immediately demanded a rematch.

Young Pluto's record setting streak of knock outs has come to an end. The recently ranked #1 Featherweight contender to Torpedo Billy Murphy had won all 17 of his first bouts by knock out. This month, he was only able to get a UD win against Tajuddin Ahmed (19-5-0 12KO). Pluto did knock him down 3 times in the fight, but couldn't quite finish him off. Young Pluto's 17 straight knock outs is far away the longest streak. John L. Sullivan, WW Charles Gleason and MW Bob Fitzsimmons all tie at 2nd with 11. (Gleason's is still active (11-0-0 11) as is Fitzsimmons' (20-1-0 18KO))

"The Nonpariel" Jack Dempsey (17-0-0 14KO)
vs
George LaBlanche (23-4-4 17KO)

Dempsey vs. LaBlanche History
8/23/1884: Dempsey won KO10

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: A back and forth first round. Dempsey started off good, but LaBlanche rallied only to face a rally by Dempsey late in the round. (Round to Dempsey, 10-9 Dempsey)

Round 2: Dempsey is landing some bombs as he had LaBlanche hurt a few times in the round. (Round to Dempsey 20-18 Dempsey)

Round 3: LaBlanche explodes in this round as he dominates until about 20 seconds left when Dempsey landed a stunning hook that sent LaBlanche covering up. (Round to LaBlanche, 29-28 Dempsey)

Round 4: LaBlanche has come alive and has complately taken over this fight. There is swelling over both of Dempsey's eyes as LaBlanche landed a lot of hard shots. (Round to LaBlanche 38-38 Even)

Round 5: Another round that saw LaBlanche win most of it. Dempsey did land a bomb at the end of the round. (Round to LaBlanche, 48-47 LaBlanche)

Round 6: An intense round that saw the action go back and forth. LaBlanche is fighting his heart out and he's winning, but he's taking shots. Dempsey, on the other hand, is also taking some shots. I don't think this one is going the distance. Both men are out to KO the other. (Round to LaBlanche, 58-56 LaBlanche)

Round 7: LaBlanche has Dempsey hurt for most of the round. The swelling on Dempsey's eyes have to be effecting his vision. (Round to LaBlanche, 68-65 LaBlanche)

Round 8: It looked like LaBlanche was going to win yet another round (although this one was close and relatively uneventful), but in the last seconds of the round Dempsey landed a combination that dropped LaBlanche to the canvas. He was saved by the bell. (Round to Dempsey 10-8, 76-75 LaBlanche)

Round 9: LaBlanche recovers from last round's knock down and easily wins the round. It looks like Dempsey may be out of gas. (Round to LaBlanche, 86-84 LaBlanche)

Round 10: LaBlanche may be on his way to an upset. Not much happened in this round. Dempsey did a bit better. (Round to Dempsey, 95-94 LaBlanche)

Round 11: A very close round until the end when LaBlanche pulled away with a late rally. (Round to LaBlanche, 105-103 LaBlanche)

Round 12: A very uneventful round until the end when Dempsey unloaded on LaBlanche. (Round to Dempsey, 114-113 LaBlanche)

Round 13: Dempsey dominated the round as he had LaBlanche hurt and dazed, but not out, for most of the round. It's now a draw on my scorecard with 2 to go. (Round to Dempsey, 123-123 Even)

Round 14: Hardly anything happened until the very end when LaBlanche landed a crushing uppercut that hurt Dempsey. (Round to LaBlanche, 133-132 LaBlanche)

Round 15: Both fighters are exhausted. LaBlanche had Dempsey hurt at one point, and that was pretty much the only action. (Round to LaBlanche, 143-141 LaBlanche)

My Score: 143-141 LaBlanche
Ringside Expert: 144-141 LaBlanche

After 15 rounds fo action, we go to the scorecards...

Judge 1 scores the bout 143-141 for George LaBlanche
Judge 2 scores the bout 143-141 for Jack Dempsey
Judge 3 scores the bout 142-142 Even

John L. Sullivan (27-1-1 22KO)
vs
Jake Kilrain (29-7-1 21KO)

Sullivan vs. Kilrain History
3/21/1885: Sullivan won UD10

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: Kilrain started off the round by landing a great shot, but that only made Sullivan mad. Sullivan dominated the rest of the round, but Kilrain snuck in a shot here and there. (Round to Sullivan, 10-9 Sullivan)

Round 2: A shutout in this round as Sullivan hurt Kilrain several times. Nothing worked for Kilrain this round. (Round to Sullivan, 20-18 Sullivan)

Round 3: Kilrain controled most of the round. However, as the round neared the end, Sullivan landed two incredible shots. But, Kilrain did manage most of that round. (Round to Kilrain, 29-28 Sullivan)

Round 4: A very close round. Both fighters landed 2 very big punches, but neither did anything else. (Round Even, 39-38 Sullivan)

Round 5: Sullivan wins a round that saw lots of action. Kilrain got some punches in, but Sullivan had Kilrain hurt a few times in the round. (Round to Sullivan, 49-47 Sullivan)

Round 6: A round identical to the last, only this time Sullivan opens a huge cut under Kilrain's right eye. Since it's under the eye, it shouldn't cause Kilrain much trouble. (Round to Sullivan, 59-56 Sullivan)

Round 7: Kilrain is withstanding some massive bombs. Kilrain isn't offering much offense anymore. (Round to Sullivan, 69-65 Sullivan)

Round 8: Kilrain is just being dominated at this point. He offered no offense to Sullivan's assault. (Round to Sullivan, 79-74 Sullivan)

Round 9: This one is going to be stopped sooner or later. Kilrain still isn't offereing much resistence to Sullivan. (Round to Sullivan, 89-83 Sullivan)

Round 10: Kilrain actually put some shots together. An accidental headbutt caused a cut to open over Kilrain's right eye. If the fight is stopped on that cut, we go to the scorecards. (Round to Sullivan, 99-92 Sullivan)

Round 11: Sullivan now seems to be slowing down. The ref has checked the cut again this round. Sullivan wins a close, uneventful round. (Round to Sullivan, 109-101 Sullivan)

Round 12: The referee stops the fight. The cut over Kilrain's right eye that was caused by the accidental headbutt is just too bad. He go to the scorecards.

My score: 109-101 Sullivan
Ringside Expert: 110-101 Sullivan

The referee calls a halt to the fight on injuries caused by an accidental headbutt. We go to the scorecards...

Judge 1 scores the bout 108-102
Judges 2 and 3 both see it 109-101

The winner by unanimous decision, and STILL WBG HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, JOHN L. SULLIVAN!

Nelson Moreno: Baxter W UD15, Pereiva L TKO7
Miguel Diaz: Baxter W SD10, Pereiva W MD10

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: A back and forth round. Baxter started off good, but Pereiva hurt him witha crippling shot. But then Baxter comes back and opens a cut on Pereiva's forehead. The round stays active, with Baxter doing the better. (Round to Baxter, 10-9 Baxter)

Round 2: The fight has settled down a bit. A close round for the most part, but Baxter unleashes a few flurries at the end to steal the round. (Round to Baxter, 20-18 Baxter)

Round 3: Baxter absolutely dominated the round, thanks in large part to the cut. The cut on Pereiva's forehead has gotten a lot worse, and blood is making its way into his eyes. Baxter landed at will and Pereiva is hurt. (Round to Baxter, 30-27 Baxter)

Round 4: Pereiva senses that it might be just a matter of time before the fight could be stopped, so he comes out strong and takes the fight to Baxter. Baxter still gets his shots in, but Pereiva got close oftan and landed several power shots that seem to take a bit out of the champ. (Round to Pereiva, 39-37 Baxter)

Round 5: And that's it. The fight has been stopped on the cut to Pereiva.

The referee calls a halt to the bout at 1:04 of the 5th round, your winner by technical knock out and STILL WBG BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, BILL BAXTER!

February 1888 Results

Pat Killen's decision lose to Dick Matthews looks like it will clear the way for Peter Jackson, the #1 contender, to get a rematch with champion John L. Sullivan. Since Kilrain's lose to Sullivan later last year, Killen looked to be the only prospect to face Sullivan besides Jackson. Killen had hoped a convincing win over Matthews would give him the push he needed to get his title shot, but losing fight means that John L. Sullivan's only viable opponent now would be Peter Jackson.

WBG Lightweight Title Fight

Jack McAullife (22-0-0 18KO)
vs
Billy Frazier (23-1-1 9KO)

Common Opponents
Jem Carney: McAullife W TKO10, Frazier W UD10

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: McAullife dominated the round. Frazier couldn't get anything going as McAullife just controlled all of the action. (Round to McAullife, 10-9 McAullife)

Round 2: McAullife hurt Frazier several times. Frazier made a rally near the end of the round and scored some points. (Round to McAullife, 20-18 McAullife)

Rouind 3: Swelling over Frazier's left eye is noticable now. McAullife again controls the action and lands some hard shots. Frazier again came on late in the round. (Round to McAullife, 30-27 McAullife)

Round 4: McAullife completely dominates the round as he had Frazier hurt several times. (Round to McAullife, 40-36 McAullife)

Round 5: McAullife again dominates the round. The swelling over Frazier's left eye is now pretty bad. He has to be having problems seeing out of that eye. (Round to McAullife, 50-45 McAullife)

Round 6: A close round, but McAullife still gets in more cleaner shots. (Round to McAullife, 60-54 McAullife)

Round 7: A back and forth round. McAullife had Frazier hurt early in the round, but Frazier comes back and looks like he might just turn the tide of the fight. But McAullife reverses it again and ends the round in total control. (Round to McAullife, 70-63 McAullife)

Round 8: A total shutout of a round as McAullife landed stagging shot and shot. Frazier generated no offense at all. (Round to McAullife, 80-72 McAullife)

Round 9:[/n] Very action packed round. McAullife starts off hurting Frazier, but he regroups and comes on strong, landing several hard shots of his own. McAullife comes back and hurt Frazier again, but again Frazier answers. However, with about 30 seconds left, McAullife hurts Frazier once again and keeps him on the ropes for the rest of the round. (Round to McAullife, 90-81 McAullife)

[b]Round 10: Once again McAullife takes full control of the fight. He wears down Frazier and near the end of the round, he sends Frazier to the canvas on a body shot. Frazier gets to his feet on the count of 9 and he's lucky that the round was just about over. (Round to McAullife 10-8, 100-89 McAullife)

Round 11: Frazier has a lot of heart, I'll give him that. He took a pounding in this round, getting knocked down 3 times. On the last time, he was able to get to a knee and struggled to get to his feet, but he couldn't beat the count.

The fight comes to an end at 2:38 of the 11th round, your winner by knock out, and STILL WBG LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, JACK McAULLIFE!!

WBG Featherweight Title Fight
May 12, 1888
Torpedo Billy Murphy (23-2-0 18KO)
vs
Young Pluto (20-0-0 18 KO)

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: Close, uneventful most of the way. Looks like Murphy stole the round at the end with a flurry that did damage. (Round to Murphy, 10-9 Murphy)

Round 2: The action picks up a bit with the champion doing a bit better. (Round to Murphy, 20-18 Murphy)

Round 3: Pluto manages to get some shots in and keep Murphy from doing anything this round. (Round to Pluto, 29-28 Muprhy)

Round 4: Murphy comes back strong in this round as he lands shot after shot. Pluto got a few shots in himself, but Murphy controled the round. (Round to Murphy, 39-37 Murphy)

Round 5: They slugged it out this round. They both landed a lot of good shots, although the champ did a bit better. (Round to Murphy, 49-46 Murphy)

Round 6: Another round with them slugging away, only this time Pluto landed a series of shots at the end to win it. (Round to Pluto, 58-56 Murphy)

Round 7: Pluto landed a huge combo halfway through the round. Murphy was able to keep Pluto off of him for the rest of the round, but it stunned him. (Round to Pluto, 67-66 Murphy)

Round 8: Pluto is dropped at the start of the round. He gets up and spends most of the round covering up. (Round to Murphy 10-8, 77-74 Murphy)

Round 9: Murphy dominated the round. It looks like Pluto is completely exhausted. (Round to Murphy, 87-83 Murphy)

Round 10: Pluto gives it his all this round and goes toe to toe with the champ. (Round Even, 97-93 Murphy)

Round 11: Murphy once again dominates the round and swelling over Pluto's right eye has gotten quite bad very quickly. (Round to Murphy, 107-102 Murphy)

Round 12: Pluto is dropped twice in the round! He beat the count both times, but I don't know how much he has left. (Round to Murphy 10-7, 117-109 Murphy)

Round 13: Murphy takes another round easily. (Round to Murphy, 127-118 Murphy)

Round 14: The fight is stopped!!! Billy Murphy has been DQed!!

The referee stops the fight in the 14th round, your by winner by disqualification and NEW WBG FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, YOUNG PLUTO!!

This has got to be seen as an enormously controversial decision. Murphy was headed to a sure victory, but the referee disqualifies him in the 14th round due to a low blow! Unbelievable!

My score: 146-132 Dempsey

After 15 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards.

June 1888 Results

It looks like Jem Carney's days as a consistant top contender may be over. He has lost 2 straight decisions against Billy Edwards and Joe Ellingsworth. Before this year, his only loses were to Billy Myer, Jack McAullife and Billy Frazier, the 3 top fighters. Before a few months ago, You would add Jem Carney to that list and call it the top 4. But now unimpressive showings against what people call "tier 2" fighters has now hurt Carney's image and his chances at getting a chance to reclaim the welterweight title.

Ding.....Ding.....Ding

Round 1: An action packed 1st round. It was back and forth the entire time. At the end of the round, Jackson already has swelling developing over his left eye. (Round to Sullivan, 10-9 Sullivan)

Round 2: A slower round as each looked to land a bomb here and there, but only Sullivan was able to connect occasionally. (Round to Sullivan, 20-18 Sullivan)

Round 3: Jackson storms out of the gate and controls the round. Sullivan did get a shot in occasionally and the swelling over Jackson's left eye gets worse. (Round to Jackson, 29-28 Sullivan)

Round 4: A close round until the end when Sullivan landed a bomb that hurt Jackson. Sullivan is warned about using his shoulder. (Round to Sullivan, 39-37 Sullivan)

Round 5: The fighters go toe to toe as they both had success this round. Sullivan was a bit busier. (Round to Sullivan, 49-46 Sullivan)

Round 6: Sullivan completely dominates the round. He had Jackson hurt the entire round and just punished him. Jackson's left eye is in horrible condition. (Round to Sullivan, 59-55 Sullivan)

Round 7: Jackson just couldn't take anymore more. Sullivan dropped Jackson 3 times this round, with Jackson unable to get up after the 3rd time.

The fight comes to an end at 2:14 of the 7th round, your winner by knock out and STILL WBG HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, JOHN L. SULLIVAN!

Sullivan looks to just have Jackson's number. Nothing Jackson does seems to work against Sullivan. After losing three times within 7 rounds, it looks like Jackson's chance for the title, as long as Sullivan has it, is over.
