Fitzsimmons Debut At Lhw Unsuccessful
March 15, 1905
Bob Fitzsimmons (17-1) attempted to step up in weight and took on the #1 LHW Jack O' Brien (12-0-1) which would set up a championship bout for Fitz.
Instead O' Brien sent him crawling back to the middleweights with a 4th round TKO. Fitzsimmons was down twice and cut whent he ref stopped it with less than a minute to go.
Fitz after the fight said "I still have the MW belt and I will try the LHW division again at some point."
