That Nick Burley sure packs a wallop - 16 wins, 15 by KO...

This one strikes me as a bit of an upset:

[MW] Harry Peppers 19-2-1 (13) (UD 10) Jack Dempsey 22-3-0 (13)

And - regarding Ruby Robert and The Chrysanthemum, was it even close, or did Fitzsimmons run away with it?

Dempsey has been a big disappointment since reaching the main division. I figured him a clear favorite to take the title.

Choynski/ Fitzsimmons was a one-sided fight. Choynski was dropped twice and by the end of the fight was cut up and swollen. I was shocked he went the distance.
Scorecards:
David Mendoza 146-139
Raul Caiz Jr. 145-138
Leo Johnson 143-140


I like Burley's punching power but a good boxer will wipe the floor with him everytime. He has won his last two fights so his next opponent will be a big test.

Notes:
If you didn't notice Jerry Barnett fought twice this month. He was scheduled to fight a title fight

but I forgot to move him and scheduled him in a regular fight. I went ahead and gave him his

title fight even though he lost his early fight. Also, I am changing the title fight schedule post to

update the welter weight title fight. Joe Walcott lost his fight with Ryan this month.

This fight was not very close. Martin proves still he is the man to beat in the middleweight division. Martin said after the fight that he would like to fight undefeated welterweight champ, Tommy Ryan if he holds onto his belt next week. Ryan has showed no interst in moving up to take on Harris.

May 16, 1896
Happy World Arena/ Singapura, Singapore
[LW] (WBC) Joe Gans 22-1-0 (6) v/s Jack McAuliffe 22-2-0 (15)
After the first round it looked like Gans was out matched with the hard hitting McAuliffe. Gans found his timing after that round landing quick counter punches and dancing around the wild swinging of McAuliffe. McAuliffe caught Gans with a big hook in round seven dropping him to the canvas for an eight count. The rest of the fight Gans chose not to step in and slug with McAuliffe, instead he used his boxing skills and picked up a unanimous decision.

Eddie Connolly
16-1-1 (8)

Connolly, is a typical boxer with average skills. He has been doing enough to win but has not impressed a lot of people. Connolly does not have great power or even a good chin but he has great endurance. Connolly has not been stopped but has been knocked down several times. Out of his eighteen fights he has only suffered four cuts and only caused one.

Predicition: I see Connolly as a journeyman fighter at best. Later in his career he may make a run for the Heroes North American Championship but I doubt he will ever win it.
