Bare knuckle fighters

[John Dewey]

I also wrote a biographical dictionary on professional wrestling meant to accompany the old out of date DOS Rampage Wrestling game of Lance Haffner Games. Somebody posted it on the internet but you'd have to search for it to find it. Try googling Great Ajaloko. That's how I stumbled upon it.

John
Does the 33rd, by any chance, march in a 4th of July parade in Wauwatosa?

Incredible bit of work, John

As a matter of fact, it does. I wasn't in the parade this year but I was last year. (I carried the flag).

I wasn't able to make it either this year. My rev war unit, the 3rd New York usually marches right in front of your unit.

I've probably met you guys at the Milwaukee military show. I know some rev war guys. It's a small world.

Any rev war guys you meet in Milwaukee are likely to be in our parent organization, the NWTA, if not in my unit, but it is quite likely that we've crossed paths at some point. If not in Milwaukee, possibly Kenosha for some Armistice Day events. There was also a recent museum dedication and opening there with a lot of Civil War exhibits and re-enactors.

I'm in the process of setting up a bare knuckle universe.

This thread has been a great help and resource.

Many Thanks

I have a different idea about how bare knuckle fighters should be rated then the others in this post or the data pool people. Notice the combination punching stats for instance. They didn't have combination punching in those days. Also the fighting off the ropes/corner stat is always 4 because under London rules fighters were obligated to stay in the center of the ring. Ring movement consisted of stepping straight in or straight out or, at most, stepping to the side out of range. Read Pugilism in the Civil War. You should be able to get to it through this thread. I also give "boxrec" numbers to my fighters many of who do not have such. Any questions I will be glad to answer.

Somehow I failed to put in the stats for this bare knuckle Black boxer.
