My mate Marchegiano would know about this legendary fight,....... Any Comments ????

You can find a ton of old fight reports there up til 1922. As a quick example, here's a few other next-day reports on that Leonard-Dundee fight alluded to;

The Google News Archives can also come in handy. You get the NY Times coverage up to the early 1920's and then later on during the 1980's I believe it is. Also tons of wired reports covering all eras;
