Bob Fitzsimmons finally has the opportunity to redirect the bombs that once toppled men who outweighed him by 30 pounds or more (see Bob's Heavyweight exploits for more details) against history's top - 160 pounders! His first test comes in the very first round against Argentina's - Hugo Corro. Fitz's power exclipes the power of a John Mugabi. But against Corro, he struggles to string combinations of punches together. He drops Corro in the 14th, but can't finish him. Bob Fitzsimmons has all sorts of problems with Hugo Corro and leaves the decision in the hands of the judges. When the final decision is announced... Fitz breathes a sigh of relief. Was Corro underrated as a champion... or did he have Fitz's number?

Fitzsimmons W15 unan. (8-7, 8-7, 9-5)
