August 1890 Results

August 6, 1890
FW: Frank Murphy 18-4-2 (11) KO1 Johnny T Griffin 15-1-0 (11)
BW: George Dixon 19-1-1 (11) UD10 Young Johnson 25-5-3 (6)

In what was supposed to be a close, tough fight, Frank Murphy surprises everyone by laying Griffin out only a minute into the fight.

George Dixon, on the other hand, did exactly what the experts thought he would. He put on a clinic and easily won one of the most one-sided fights I've ever seen.

August 17, 1890
WW: Paddy Duffy 31-4-1 (10) UD10 Charles Gleason 20-4-1 (18)

Boxer versus brawler, and in this case, the boxer won. Duffy easily took the first two rounds, but Gleason fought back hard and had Duffy hurt through the 3rd and 4th rounds. But the Duffy took control of the fight and won the next few rounds. Gleason fought back hard in the last 2 rounds, but it wasn't enough. Duffy won the fight 96-94 on all 3 scorecards.

August 23, 1890
MW: Tom Barry 19-6-1 (9) TKO6 Irish Jack Burke 31-8-1 (20)

The former champion, Irish Jack Burke, in the twilight of his career fought hard against a much younger Tom Barry. It was a close fight for the first 5 rounds, but in the 6th Barry would cut Burke underneath his right eye, knock him down, and then cut him again over his left eye. The cut over the left eye was a terrible cut and the fight had to be stopped.

August 27, 1890
LW: George Siddons 20-2-0 (13) TKO6 Mike Leary 24-7-0 (15)

Siddons dominated the fight for the most part. Leary's left eye was swealing up badly and he was cut over the right eye in the 2nd round. His corner kept the cut under control, but in the 6th round, Siddons busted it wide open and the fight was immediately stopped.
