Kid Herman (73556)

Herman had 18 bouts against TB database opponents.

In the twilight of his career he drew over 20 rounds with Abe Attell for the World Featherweight Title and was knocked out by Joe Gans in the eighth round of a World Lightweight title bout.

The Gans fight can be seen here.

YouTube - Joe Gans vs. Kid Herman

Herman was 'put' into retirement after a gruelling 15 round beating from Packey McFarland.

His two stoppage losses in 65 bouts bear testament to his durability, though Gans did knock him cold.

Wins over Benny Yanger, Austin Rice and Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan were the highlights of Herman's career.

This rating is speculative and not part of the database.
