My friend, who is not a boxing fan, wanted to know more about Braddock from 'Cinderella Man', so we looked up his recored on boxrec. I've never even seen the movie, but what intrigued me is that he had 3 no contests against 1 guy named Francis. Anyone know about this? I would like to know how you have 3 NCs against one opponent.

Fights that didn't end in a knock out were often ruled a no contest in the first few decades of the 1900s. If you look at a number of guy's records you'll see No Contests and "No Decision". Fights were sometimes broken up by the police, or if no one scored a stoppage and it was close it would often end in a no contest.

Yeah, I did see quite a few other NCs and NDs on his record, but I noticed the three with Francis. I didn't even really think about how early this was in the development of rules and such. Thanks, Bozo_no no.
