Anybody know off the top of their head or have a good guess? Don't go running to look it up right away. Let's just see if anybody knows.
Ali and Norton fought 42 together; Ali and Frazier, 41.
Obviously anybody who finished a modern trilogy only made it to 36.
I'm thinking Robinson and LaMotta maybe? Their first five went to a decision so that's at least 50 + the St. Valentine's Day Massacre went 13, so that's at least 63. Anybody know of any more than that?
I was reading about the fight, and both guys were aggressive and trying to take each other's heads off for a winner takes all 2500 dollar purse.
They both gave up in the 111th round.
Frickin quitters.
:lol1:
Quitters! I hope they didn't get paid then. pussies
Longest boxing match ever.
Imagine these two guys watching someone get tired in the 5th or 6th round.
The Answer:
The longest boxing match (with gloves) in history was 110 rounds long.
It began around 9 p.m. on April 6, 1893 and ended the next day well after 4 a.m. Andy Bowen and Jack Burke fought for seven hours and 19 minutes in New Orleans, La. before the match was eventually deemed "no contest" when the fighters were too exhausted to continue. That decision was later changed to a "draw."
Todays fighters are in much better condition.
Just sayin'............... :)
Battling Nelson fought a lot of rounds with Gans.
One fight of his beats Ali-Frazier... 41 rounds. LOL.
He fought Gans 42,21,17 LOL.
Yeah man. 45 rounds was essentially a fight to the finish. Brutal stuff.
What about Langford and Wills?
Rounds: 15, 15, 10 , 8, 7, 6, 12, 10, 6, 8, 10, 19, 20, 10, 14, 10 = 180.
A lot of rounds, but there's probably fighters with more.
Sam Langford-Sam Mcvey
Sam Langford-Harry Willis
Sam Langford-Joe Jeanette
Each of these happens over 10 times.
Edit: I forgot Jim Barry.
Langford fought a lot of people a lot of times.
