Damn a 45 round fight.

[THE REAL NINJA]

Most of the fights were still under Queensberry Rules which only say how long the rounds should be but not how long the fight can last.

Thank you, thank you very much. Sad but true.

I know the feeling, pal.

You're speaking of the London Prize Ring Rules fights

ah well, thanks for the correction. things get a little blurred after an hour of sleep the last 2 days.

You're speaking of the London Prize Ring Rules fights, my friend, as those fights were fought under no set time limit per round, as well as allowed the wrestling and grappling takedowns.

The Marquis of Queensberry rules, from when they originated in 1868, clearly state the following in their then-new rules for the sport;

Rule 2: No wrestling or hugging allowed.

Rule 3: The rounds to be of three minutes' duration, and one minutes' time between rounds.

You beat me too it Yogi.

Indeed fights were schedualed for 45 three minute rounds.

Jack Johnson fought Jess Willard for 25 rounds losing in a KO. the fight was scheduled for 45. Damn how long is it to complete 45 rounds

3mins x 45 = 135mins
