1857 hmmm I don't think you will find much before that. Queensbury Rules according to wiki started in 1865. Stuff before the 1850s was probably not really considered boxing.

A lot of these older ones were still bare-knuckle rules.

Bill Poole
Amos Street Docks, United States L PTS ?

Time: 18 minutes / Poole was killed 7 months later on February 24, 1855 by members of Morrissey's gang.

That's the description they give for the big Poole/Morrisey bout.

Right, that bothered me some. Turns out, Morrissey ended up becoming a US Senator. I'm really glad I wasn't born in those times.

KO'er

Anyone seen any sooner?
