Jackson handles Gans again in rematch
March 27, 1908
Young Peter Jackson (16-3) scored a KO10 over #1 Joe Gans (24-3-2) for his second victory over Gans and 5th defense of his LBC Welterweight title.
Jackson established control early knocking down Gans in the second round. Gans stayed to the outside and boxed well in the 3rd, 4th and 5th rounds.
Jackson got Gans to the ropes in the 6th and 7th. Both of Gans' eyes started swelling during these two rounds.
Finally in the 10th, Jackson caught up to Gans again and dropped him for good.
I had it even at 86. Ringside expert Walt Arnold had Jackson ahead 86-84.
