Interesting. Always thought that pic was of Abe Atell and Owen Moran. That era was incredible. I only wish the film quality was better. Abe Atell was one of the conspirators in the 1919 black sox scandal.
Abe, Owen, Battling Nelson, Ad Wolgast, "Mexican" Joe Rivers, "Harlem" Tommy Murphy, Terry McGovern, Packey McFarland and a few others, engaged in brutal 20 round wars, a lot of draws and newspaper decisions.
But I digress.. in old books covering boxing that picture has been captioned as Abe, Tommy, Owen or Rivers.
Ive never even heard of these two before and I have read volumes of books covering the history of boxing. I always heard the longest fight ever was between John L Sullivan and Jake Kilrain which was 76 rounds, though I don't think they were 3 minute rounds. Mike Tyson made his first son's middle name Kilrain.

The guys of that era were tough as nails.

They're fiesty but if you hit em with the wrong pronoun they tend to fall apart.

Chisora vs Joyce in a few hours, Beak. Stream it if you can. Two giant lumps who are going to go out swinging.

NOBODY is as touch as Bradley Martin. He is to fighting what Mike O'Hearn is to penis size.

Man. Joyce wouldn't block a punch if you paid him to. Amazed these guys don't have brain damage.

Is Joyce fighting already?

Brandon Lee is up in the prelims....guy is great!

Yeah, they're in the 6th round. If you're watching it on ESPN + it starts from the beginning regardless when you turn it on. I fast forwarded through some of the prelims. Joyce Chisora is currently in round 6. Its rock em sock em robots.

I never buy the PPV....I just watch it the next day.
Years ago we would see veritable legends fight for free on tons if networks......now it`s all about greed.

Joe Louis had at least two bouts scheduled for 20 rounds: Abe Simon and Bob Pastor.
He KOed both in those 20-rounders.

Different kind of toughness. The boxers could take a beating to their head and torso for hours. The non binary millennials can take a beating for hours to their anus.

It was good, eh. Could only have ever been a slug-fest. Gave me a headache just watching Joyce block everything with his face. Was hoping Chisora would retire now but looks like he's pushing for 50 fights.

Yeah Joyces defense sucked.....but Duboius eye was a swollen mess......looked like he had a hematoma (sp).

I hope that's Joyce last fight :'(
