- Currently in Feb. 1914
- using fighters from 1800-1914, 1942-44, 1972-1974, 1992-1994
- all weight classes in use but most of the jr's haven't had fighters get to the main division yet
- 813 fighters in main, 629 in club, 893 in beginners, and 94 officially retired
- using Tomato Can's world regions for regional titles (great work)
- if you go back to page 77 in the above thread there is a video of the Jack Johnson vs. Joe Jeannette fight (heed all warnings mentioned in the post)
- Fan Favorite Aurelio Herrera was killed in a post fight surgery to reduce brain swelling in June of 1913, he was the second ring death in the LBA

Perhaps the biggest news LBA will present what I believe to be the first ever LIVE Title Bout Boxing match Thursday July 2nd at 10:15 PM EST.

It will be the biggest fight in LBA History

Bob Fitzsimmons (48-5) who holds the LHW IBF title and the HW WBC title will face Jack Dillon (32-1-1) who holds the WBA LHW title.

All you need to do is go to this link: www.yuuguu.com/share PIN 391688 at 10:15 PM EST Thursday night and my computer screen will pop up in your browser along with a chat screen. Fight will start around 10:30. Up to 30 people can watch and chat.

For all those concerned generic ring card girls will be used for the live fight
