JACK BONNER MW
Born - Summit Hill, Pennsylvania, USA
47(38)-21-21; 30 NC
Bonner was a brawler not adverse to underhanded tactics. This powerful Middleweight fought many of the best boxers of his era with wins over Dan Creedon and Joe Butler. He fought in losing efforts with Joe Walcott, Kid McCoy and Tommy Ryan. His bout with Ryan was for the World Title in 1898; a 20 round points decision that went against Bonner. Jack fought a series of four bouts with Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. O'Brien clearly had the upper hand winning two of the bouts and being declared the "better" in the two no contest bouts by the local papers.
