Bantamweight Legend Panama Al Brown

Panama Al Brown

One of the all time of the Bantamweight immense divisions is Panama Al Brown, busy in 1922–1942 and winner of 129 of his 160 competitions. Consistently, it is a ranking of experts and historians in the top ten of all time Bantamweight, and in an article from 2016. On the Boxing News website, Mike Lockley placed it on the fourth issue.

He was a elaborate figure from the ring and led a colorful and intriguing life before he tragically died in 1951 at a youthful age 48. He was a gay black man, so he had to fight many prejudices, and I suspect that he can explain it, that he would decide to spend a immense part of his life in Paris, a city noteworthy as it is today, because it is today, because it is today, because it is today. Brown easily suited the French society, where, as well as an extremely well -known boxer, he was also an excellent dancer, part -time actor and extravagant social.

Born born in the colon in 1902, Brown gained his name in Fresh York, where in 1929 he collected the free world championship title, beating Vidal Gregorio in 15 rounds. This made him the first Latin American world champion and is still worshiped in South and Central America for this achievement.

He toured three times in Great Britain, with six competitions in 1931, three in 1932 and the next six in 1933. He lost only one of them when he was disqualified in the eighth 15-round duel against him, which Brown Title recently, again, finished, over 15 rounds, over 15 rounds, front, front. 30,000 to Antfield Football Ground, Liverpool.

One of the more intriguing aspects of Brown competitions in Great Britain was the fact that he was prepared for boxing in the most unlikely places. In addition to boxing, in some of the most vital rooms and stadiums in the country, including Olimpia, Kensington and Belle Vue, Manchester, he also boxed at Blundell Park, the House of Grimsby Town FC, in the pavilion in Mountain Ash, and in Ryton, and then a busy compact fight center at oldkirts of oldskirts. He would certainly be well paid for these fights and packed places each time.

When he came to Great Britain for the first time, he defeated the two highest level of Geordie Bantams in Billy Farrell and Douglas Parker. He easily beat Farrell in three rounds. I met Billy about 45 years ago and although I asked him about this competition, I don’t remember now what he said about him, except that Brown was excellent. I would like to take part in a tape recorder! Then in the novel Hall ST James’ Hall, Newcastle – the eminent place of boxing, which was immediately on the other side of the road from the end of Gallowgate of Newcastle United FC – where he knocked out Parker.

Brown box twice in the ring, Blackfriars. This place is the most iconic compact room in the history of the game, if I know, and the crowd really knew their boxing. They watched the Panama, extremely high for Bantam, defeating Johnny Peters from Battesea, and then Tommy Hyams from Kings Cross, at the beginning of 1933 his following fight was against the substitute, Arthur Boddington from Wellingborough, in Ryton, and Brown played him before he opened him and stopped him in the fourth.

The Grimsby competition was his next and when there was so many boxing in the ground and down that BN could not report everything, the venerable Bible managed to miss this. Imagine it is happening today! World and all time champion, boxing in Grimsby and this is not covered by the BN. Brown deserves its place as one of the largest in the history of Bantam.

Mexican warriors Barrera and Morales ended their epic trilogy in a properly urgent style, creating another unforgettable war. Entering in the start, in the case of the Super Feather WBC Morales belt, the series stood with one winner per item. Morales won the initial meeting in Super-Bantam in 2000, and Barrera secured the creation of a rematch in 2002 in a featherweight-the decisions were questioned. Accordingly, the verdict in the rubber match also caused a debate. As in the previous two meetings, bitter enemies got involved in a furious fight, and the electrifying 11 round turned out to be particularly cruel. Ultimately, Barrera went to the top and adapted Morales’s achievement, becoming the three world letter.

Do you know? At that time, WBO Feather Highland Scott Harrison was interested in an observer in Ringside. He hoped to catch the winner.

Watch out for: In the middle of nine, the fighters are involved in the clinch, and Barrera is bursting morale at the back of the head with a legal apparatus. Uninvited by his opponent, Morales refuses to touch Barrera gloves when the judge was asked.

A lot was expected about the battle of unification of power between Trinidad and Vargas and, fortunately, did not disappoint. Trinidad, who defended his title WBA, jumped out of the blocks and twice started in the opener twice. Vargas returned a favor in the fourth round, sending Trinidad to a mat. Even worse for Felix, he was also deducted to a low blow. The same violation meant that the next point was taken from Trinidad in seventh place, before Vargas lost the point after a closer south of the border in 10. Constant violence with the view lasted to 12., in which the trio knocking up from Trinidad finally ended to a perfectly exhilarating competition.

Do you know? Former victim of Trinidad, Kevin Lueshing, called Boxing news Offices to discuss a brutal conclusion to fight. He said: “It caused a terrible memory of how he finished me.”

Watch out for: The complete HBO Pay-Per-View transmission is available to watch on YouTube. In Undercard he presents himself like Christa Martin, William Joppy and Ricardo Lopez.

When Jack Johnson visited Great Britain

Published

Jack Johnson

This is the latest in the occasional series about the heavyweight champions of the world and their visits to Great Britain. In previous articles I wrote about Primo Carner and Langford himself, and this week I will look at Jacek Johnson and his British concert tour of 1908. Jackjohnson came to Great Britain on Monday, April 27 from the States, when the German steamer, Kronprinz Wilhelm, did in Plymouth. He was accompanied by his manager, Fitzpatrick himself, and two men immediately followed the train from Plymouth to the Paddington station in London, checked in at the Adelphi Hotel, and in the evening he visited the British Botker, in the field of eight circles, to see 20 rounds.

Johnson was in Great Britain to hunt Tommy Burns, also visiting London, to force him to defend the title, which, as we know, took place in Sydney eight months later. Two men exchanged words in Sporting Press and Burns, who stayed in Jacek’s Castle, in a pub in Hampstead, immediately published 1000 pounds from The Sporting Life, stating that if the Johnson camp was fitting to this amount, the fight was turned on. Fitzpatrick opposed the terms for which Burns insisted on the proposed match and refused to cover money. Johnson challenged the shooting moir, but it was rejected when Moir drew a color line and refused to meet the American.

Johnson spent the majority of this summer, appearing in various music rooms in Great Britain, boxing at exhibitions with a wide British heavyweight, including Jewey Smith, Jam Styles and Fred Drummond. In those days it was quite lucrative for the highest level boxers. Then he was tailored to Ben Taylor (Woolwich) to a 20-round competition in Plymouth. Jack trained on a fight at Regent’s Park and at the Junior High School at the National Sporting Club. He left the Waterloo station on July 30 to go to Plymouth for a fight, which was to take place the next day in Cosmopolitan Gymnasium, Mill Street. A vast contingent of fans welcomed him in the city of Devon, which at that time was the center of the fight of the great importance.

Jack Johnson had to chase his fight with Tommy Burns

The competition, as you can expect, turned out to be one -sided when Johnson defeated Taylor with ease, raising him 11 times in front of a judge called Halt in the eighth round. After the duel, Johnson praised Taylor at his break, stating that he never met a player during his entire career. Later that night at the Mount Pleasant Hotel gathered at the Mount Pleasant Hotel, near the cosmopolitan, where Taylor founded his training camp, and Jack appeared to give Taylor again congratulations to Taylor for organizing such a good competition.

Johnson took part in a series of exhibitions in Dublin, and then in Bristol, where he participated in the Bristol City Vs Everton football match in Ashton Gate – his first experience in sport. Until September 7, he returned to London and announced that in October he was adapted to Box Mike Schreck at the National Sporting Club. On September 14, Schreck manager Jimmy Kelly was announced that the fight was not turned off because Schreck could not be relied to get to a decent condition for the fight.

Together with Burns in Australia, Johnson remained high and desiccated, without a significant fight, so the National Sports Club organized a competition against Sam Langford, which took place at the club on November 9. What would be a coup d’état – a match between the two best bulky scales in the world – but unfortunately this did not happen. On Monday, September 21, Johnson left the Charing Cross Station on the planned Łódź train at 13.20 to France to start a long journey to Australia, where he finally met and defeated Tommy Burns three months later.
