Just before the First World War, there was a group of four black American heavyweight, which were unique. I have already written about the best of them, Jack Johnson and the competition, which he had in Plymouth in 1908, just five months before he became the first heavyweight champion Black World. I also told a story Langford himself and his competitions in Great Britain. The other two, Sam McVey and Joe Jeannette, also toured extensively in Europe and both fought in Great Britain, and also fought with British opponents in Paris, where both men had for some time. These four heavyweight were much better than any of the leading white weights of the era and everyone conveniently defeated Tommy Burns and Jess Willard, the masters against whom Johnson won and lost the title. Only Johnson received the title shot and used it fully.
McVey, Jeannette and Langford were largely ignored by the main promoters of that day, especially by Tex Rickard, and to get decent handbags, they had to resort to fight. Langford himself, for example, called 14 competitions with McVey and 15 against Jeannette. McVEY and Jeannette met five times, including two classic meetings in Paris in 1909, when Joe knocked out his rival in the 49th round before they both attracted the 30-runder. I am almost sure that for the first time the rounds were each of the three minutes, but I am not sure if the arrangements regarding the return. Either way, these were exploits of incredible strength, because each competition was extremely complex.
Joe Jeannette came to boxing at a behind schedule age. Born in Modern Jersey, he was 25, when he first entered a professional ring and it was quite unusual for this period, and most boxers fought for money from early teenagers. Both Jack Johnson and Jack Dempsey, both hit the salary around 19. During the year Jeannette met, and they beat like Langford, as well as Johnson himself. In 1909 he was recognized as one of the best heavyweight in the world, and then he came to Europe for the first time. During his first route, from January to May 1909, he put on five British heavyweight in a total number of 12 rounds. Ben Taylor, Charlie Croxon and Jack Scales were defeated in Paris in competitions, which took place immediately before and after its classic 49-UND with McVey, and then, before returning to the States, he crossed the channel to take part in two competitions on the newly opened, and very brief breaks, hearing cross arena. This building, which still survived today, was located on Villiers Street, near the band and was full of night, when Jeannette boxed there, when he was exposed to two six runes against the soldiers of the Cook Royal Watchtower, the end guard and Harry Shearing from Walthamstov.
Jeannette entered the ring at 22:00 Edged and was supported by the great American medium weight, Willie Lewis, who won in the same place last night. Competitions were held a few months earlier Bn The uprising appeared, so I rely on the fact that sports life told me that Joe constantly beat Cook before the second of the soldier threw a towel during the second round, and that the shearing occurred before the performance before he was also pulled out by his corner in the fourth. The next day, Jeannette left Great Britain and sailed home. He returned in 1912 to fight both in Glasgow and Plymouth, beating Teenage Johnson and George Rodel, and in the last British competitions, in 1914, he detained Andrew Johnson in Liverpool, before he overtook Colin Bella in Premierland, Whitechapel. He died in 1958 at the age of 78, a relatively opulent man, unlike two Sams, Langford and McVey, both of which, unfortunately, died in poverty.
Marco Antonio Barrera in MD 12 Erik Morales November 27, 2004; MGM Grand, Las Vegas, NV 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.
Felix Trinidad in RSF 12 Fernando Vargas December 2, 2000; Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, NV 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.
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.
