[LW] (WBC) Joe Gans 29-1-0 (7) v/s Jack McAuliffe 30-4-0 (23)
Gans continued his winning ways tonight with a crowd pleasing slugfest of a victory. He chose to stand in and fight a little more than anyone would have thought and McAuliffe just got worn down.

Decade Awards 1800s
Fighter of the Decade: Joe Gans 30-1-0 (8) Lightweight
Gans has not lost a fight since 1891, now on a 27 fight winning streak. 10-0 in title fights holding his WBC title since 1895.


Best Fight of the Decade: Young Mitchell v/s Tommy Ryan 11/1899
A fight for Mitchell's WBC belt that was scored a majority draw. Both fighters followed their gameplan and really gave it all in the ring. I hope the rematch lives up to this epic battle.


Best Rivalry of the Decade: Young Griffo v/s George Dixon
Four fights all for the WBC belt. An even split at 2-2. This was one of the most anticipated fights in Heroes history and could still continue to be a rivalry for years to come.

Fitz and Choynski should be a classic. Lookinf forward to the Gans/Nelson tilt as well....good stuff Brooks.

[Brooks TVB]

Unfortunately for Nelson he is at pre-prime so he might get waxed. Fitz/Choynski is either growing into a rivalry or setting up someone to change divisions. I haven't really made up my mind yet. I had Fitz scheduled to move to HW but I wanted to make this fight first and the organizations finally ranked them both 1 and 2 so I got my wish.
