May 30th: Joe Goss 1-1-1 (1) PTS15 Paddy Ryan 0-0-0
Ref Decision: 7-4
In real life, Paddy Ryan won by decision and this was Joe Goss' last fight. Paddy Ryan goes on to fight John L. Sullivan in a fight billed as a title fight, but not until 1882 (not listed on boxrec, but is on Cyber Boxing Zone's list of fights for Sullivan).
I think I'll have Goss stay out of retirement and have him fight that fight instead. (It just so happens Goss did fight Sullivan a week before Sullivan's fight with Ryan in an exhibition).
