GANS BOXES HIS WAY TO REVENGE
The long running thorn in Joe Gans (13-1-1) was Jack Blackburn (10-2-3). Blackburn handed Gans his only loss before Gans won the title and then fought to a draw in Gans first title defense.
This time Gans wanted nothing to do with it, he dominated the fight with defense from the word go. He made Blackburn miss then countered with combinations. He made Blackburn miss with every thing Jack tried.
He even dropped Blackburn with a counter left hook in the 15th.
Gans landed 39.9% of his punches to Blackburn's 23.9.
I had it 147-137. George Thorn ringside had it 146-138. The official judges had it 146-140/146-138/146-138.
It was Gans 5th defense of the Title.
