Bob Fitzsimmons ran his record to 10-0 and won his first title defense June 24th against Jack "the lad" Burke (7-3-2) .... but it didn't start out that way ...

Burke was all over fitz from round one ... He easily took round 1 & 2 and then put Fitz to the canvas in round 3 .... Fitz then woke up and fought back late in round 3 .... He punished Burke in round 4 and then Ko'd him in round 5 ....

This was Fitz coming out sluggish and Burke couldn't capitalize on it ...
