Max Schmeling is primarily remembered for being the first man who won the world heavyweight title with a foul and for two meetings with Joe Louis, with each victory through a knockout. British fighting fans 50 years ago would also know that he was twice beaten by the British fighters, and Canadian Larry Gains won in two rounds in 1925, and Welshman, Daniels Gips, stopping him in one round in 1928.

Many today with the history of this sport will recognize the name of Larry Gains, a very good heavyweight, who also defeated Primo Carner, but few will know about Daniels Gips. At the beginning of 1928, Schmeling won 33 of his 39 competitions and became a champion of European hefty weight. Meanwhile, Daniels joined the Welsh and then British hefty weight on featherlight and boxed from 1919. Two men met once in 1927, when Schmeling won a challenging competition for points and yes, for Daniels, to make the future only in one round, to be sensational.

Still, I can’t find any trace of the competition for none Bn Or Ring then. Few in Great Britain would know about Daniels’s feat to a few years later, after Max won the title of World Heavyight, and few believe that it could happen even then

1929 Everlast Boxing Record BookThen the leading publication of boxer records, even reversed the result in Max’s records, suggesting that he had Daniels’s Ko’d in the round, not the other way around. Schmeling switched to great things in the 1930s, but Daniels’ career came out, and eventually retired in 1938 after winning 97 of his 158 professional competitions.

Daniels came from Newport and after the start of his career as teenage Daniels he was chosen by the MP and boxing fanatic, Horatio Bottomley, as one of his “boys of John Bull”, a group of promising heavyweight, who, as I hoped, will restore Great Britain to global size.

Georges Carpentier paid our two leading heavyweight, Bombardier Billy Wells and Joe Beckett, in round allegations and Bottomley was so enraged that he overcame the length and width of the country for promising talents that he could cultivate.

At that time, Daniels took the name “Gipsy”, although his name is Billy. In the 1920s, Ballyhoo and bold advertising were introduced to this sport and it was thought that Daniels should be added to the history of color and mystery to highlight it.

Until 1921, Daniels ran a campaign in America and began to make waves. Although he is not hefty himself, Daniels would get into the ring with anyone, no matter how huge, and his striking power made him gain many stops over the leading hefty scales.

In 1928, when he went to Germany for a rematch with Schmeling, he used this power well. At that time, the Germans had six decent heavyweight – Schmeling, Franz Diener, Hans Breitenstraeter, Hein Mueller, Helmut Hartkopp and Hein Domgoergen. Daniels passed through three of them like a dose of salt. He continued the clinical disposable Schmeling hammers with two knockouts, both Breitestraeter and Domgoergen, with three competitions held in Berlin, Frankfurt and Leipzig respectively.

German fans had to be very impressed by Daniels, a one -man destroying the ball of their talent in hefty weight, but when he returned the following year, in 1929, he was overtaken by the other three, Diener, Mueller and Hartkopp.

In the early 1930s he had two more trips to Germany, losing in both cases the latest sensation of the heavyweight of this country, Walter Neusel.

Although he lost more than he won against the Germans, he defeated the best of them in one round and he would never be forgotten.

In the autumn of 1909, boxing in Great Britain changed for the better. Two unique institutions, both today, were first familiarized with the sports audience.

The photo shows Freddie Welsh from Boxing Pontipridd against Johnny Summers Canning Town for the British featherweight championship at the National Sporting Club at Covent Garden. The fight took place on November 8 this year and it was the first British title competition for which the Lonsdale belt was awarded. Later the same year, Tom Thomas defended his medium weight title in the Belt Competition, and at the beginning of 1910 Jim Driscoll did the same in a fertile weight. That is why the first three fighters who received the Lonsdale belt were therefore all Welsh.

In Ringside, in a press box that can be clearly seen, was John Murray, the first editor Bn. At that time, the publication was in circulation for several months, and the report from this competition can be read in its 15th edition. Excluding World War II, when Bn He appeared every two weeks and strange gaps appeared, especially when his offices were bombed during Blitz and various occasional printers in the 1950s and 1970s Bn Since then, he appeared every week.

The Welsh V Summers competition was perfect, and Murray noticed that “it was a great fight, a wonderful fight. From some points of view, this is not a particularly nice fight to watch, but from others it was incredibly pretty. This last point of view is the one that should be taken by the one that appreciated all the stout games. To speak with no quantity, there was no quantity, but there was no game, there was no quantity, but there was no expenses.

In addition to the fact that it was the first competition in the history of the belt, it was also the first British title competition submitted by [i]Bn[i]And it is captivating to see how journalistic methods have changed compared to today.

Summers won the title almost exactly a year earlier when he defeated Jacek Goldswain. All British title competitions took place within the sanctified borders of the National Sports Club, when these two met, until one of two exceptions did not change until the sport became more commercialized in the 1920s, when the club said that he could not compete with bags offered by more entrepreneurs.

A few days before the fight, Welsh, who trained in his hometown, pontypridd, took the car to Gilfach Goch and had to jump out of the vehicle when he slipped on a greasy road, destroying his leg. There were some fears that this could affect his ability during the competition, but these fears were unfounded, he burst out majestically.

A few years earlier, Welsh moved to America and in this country he learned his trade. His style was very different from Summers, who also experienced American rings during the route in 1907 and 1908, and his style and methods were novel to the British audience. Tom Scott, Tom Scott, can be seen on your chair directly between the boxers. At that time, a judge in all national competitions of the Sports Club of officials from outside the ring and his decisions, voting casting, was only issued if both judges disagree.

Elsewhere in the UK, the judge was the only arbiter and it was his choice whether to get to the ring or not. So much has changed in 113 years, but many are still the same.

In every episode of imagination, Packey Mahoney from Cork was a terrifying hefty weight. In an era in which most of the heavyweight looked, as if someone who could be avoided at all costs. Jim Jeffries is another good example. The Irish always had a reputation of the fight, and this was mainly because so many of them had to leave their country during the great hunger in the 1840s and ended in Great Britain, doing all the demanding work. Without them, for example, most of the railways could not be built.

According to Matt Donnellon in his book Irish heavyweight book 1The Packey family emigrated to Wales, where Packey was born in Cardiff in 1883. Soon they returned to Cork, and there a newborn boy learned to fight. Matt describes Mahoney as “one of the most crucial fighters who have ever left Ireland, and a retrospective look at his career shows that he was the highest class of heavyweight.” He served in the British army during the Burska war and I am sure that he would be presented to noble art.

In 1910, at the age of 26, he had his first professional competition, beating Sid Barber in the planned 15-government advertisement as Munster championships in hefty weight, with victory in the eighth round. The following year, Packey raised the championship in the heavyweight of his family Cork, beating Bombardier Coates in a 20-round competition at the Cork Opera House, a place where Packey became a great favorite. According to Bn“The crooked, which greeted the victory of a local man, were deafening.” Packey Polokski of his man.

Then he went to the invincible run of 12 competitions. In 1912 he attracted the Irish heavyweight title against a private Delaney from Leinster Regiment, again at the Opera, and then won two competitions in England, including one against the American, newborn Johnson, and the other by knockout in Paris. In October 1912 he was re -broadcast with Johnson, this time at the House Opera in Cork. Johnson was nearby, he fought with this great American, Joe Jeannette, in Glasgow only five months earlier. In the uninteresting fight, Mahoney won again.

His reward was the 15th-Runder against the future British heavyweight champion, Joe Beckett, at the National Sporting Club, and Packey won this chance with both hands. According to Bn“Mahoney was always at the top, until, seeing that he had his man on his mercy, Packey entered and, without even worrying to break the right to the jaw, and Beckett dropped like logs that could be counted.”

After two defense of the Irish heavyweight title in 1913, winning excellent victories over private Dan Voyles and Seaman Brown, he was adapted to the leading British man of weight, Bombardier Billy Wells, in the British title. It inevitably took place, as it had to, at the National Sporting Club. Wells lost the last two matches, both through a knockout for the world opposition at Gunboat Smith and Georges Carpentier, and could not afford to lose it. In our preview, Bn He described the style of Mahoney as “a warrior, immaculate and elementary, whose one idea is to move to his opponent, sticking close to him and piercing him.”

Unfortunately, the peculiar lack of boxing skills of Packey led to his fall against Wells. Several times in the first two rounds he caught the master, but into the third “he was stuck in every variety of strokes. Hooks, stabs, right crosses, peaks found his face, nose and mouth,” and Mahoney was finally displaced with a net of hooks. This was his first and only failure.

Packey has never been blooming again. He retired to Cork, where he became a worshiped and beloved figure. He died at the age of 85 in 1968.
