Fitzsimmons makes quick work of Russell
I am going to list the before and after rankings now on the fight cards listed as (before/after) all rankings will be the WBA rankings unless it's a title fight for another organization.
October 4, 1909
Bob Fitzsimmons (33-4) starched challenger Fred Russell (C3/4) (13-6) in 1:37 for his second defense of the WBC LHW title. Fitzsimmons also holds the WBA but it wasn't on the line in this fight.
Russell never landed a punch and Fitz never missed in this mismatch.
On the undercard
MW - Tommy Ryan (7/7) (36-2-1) UD10 George Rooke (17/21) (15-16-1)
FW - Kid Broad (30/29) (11-8-1) TKO4 Fred Delaney (UR) (6-7-1) (delaney at pre)
HW - Frank Mantell (20/9) (12-4) UD10 Nick Burley (43/35) (15-9) (Mantell at pre)
