I never knew Jack Johnson and Stanley Ketchel were friends before and after their fight. The two even went gambling together after their fight. I had know their fight was in essence a staged fight until Ketchel dropped Jack, but I also recently read that Ketchel was supposed to originally fake being ko'd but wasn't sure he could pull it off so asked Johnson just to knock him out.
