I read the Jem Belcher Vs James deaf un Bourke fight from a newspaper,.. and I wrote about it on the Newspaper Fight report Thread,.... that thread needs you man,.... and an incredible a,ount of awesome links to Pioneer and old-timer bouts...... there just ain't enough posters here that know the great bare knuckle fighters..... Les Darcy knocked out Bob Whitelaw in their second fight,... Whitelaw was a Bare-knuckle fighter too,.. so Darcy was very tough/.

Unless of course they're just not that well known even amongst the knowers...but your here and now the name Darcy is known. Which is a great victory for his memory might i add. No reason for me to talk about Fitzsimmons or Sullivan due to someone else will...There are a few Aussie's in my list. Most Americans and English, but Australia forces representation. Seems like for a while y'all biggest problem was getting someone off the continent to show the world whats what. I'm not sure what possessed me to do a bare knuckle list under this thread. Once I reread it kinda seemed disrespectful to the original point. I knew damn well you meant gloved fighters. I apologise, but still it is a fine list of LPRRish and would kick off that sort of thread nicely. I'm still a bit stretched for time, but no worries man. I'll always find a way to get to the BS history section....especially since every couple of months or so some *******'s going pop in to talk **** about the Rock.

Nothing better than one ATG Vs another.
And what a sight of the great Harold Johnson sending the great Archie Moore from one side of the ring to the other.
And they say he had no power!
