Posts about combat sports history from 1870 til 1930.
For my birthday this year, I purchased one of my favorite books, The Way to Live in Health and Strength (affiliate link) by Georg Hackenschmidt. Georg Hackenschmidt set many weightlifitng world records before focusing on professional wrestling. Hackenschmidt would win the World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship in 1901. Hackenschmidt would reign as undefeated World Champion for 7 år, indtil han mistede sin
William Muldoon, en tidligere New York detektiv, vandt World græsk-romersk brydning Championship ved at besejre Thiebaud Bauer. Muldoon regerede i ti år, før han gik som mester. Efter tilbagetrækningen, han begyndte at leve som en personlig træner. Muldoon trained many wrestlers but really came to prominence after getting a woefully out of shape John L. Sullivan fit for
William Muldoon, World græsk-romersk brydning Champion og fysisk kultur fortaler, kom til Los Angeles på tirsdag, April 15, 1884 at imødegå den lokale wrestler Fred Bauer. Kampen fandt sted på det lokale Turnvereine Hall i Los Angeles. Muldoon was so confident of victory that he stipulated that he would throw Bauer ten times within an hour or he
Oktober 12, 1853, 23 year-old John Morrissey would meet 40 year-old “Yankee” Sullivan for the American and possibly World Heavyweight Prizefighting Championship. Sullivan had been considered the champion since Tom Hyer, who had beaten Sullivan previously, retired instead of fighting Sullivan in a rematch.

På juli 26, 1854, the bare knuckle champion John Morrissey met occasional bare knuckle fighter William Poole in a no rules street brawl. What followed would be the worst five minutes of John Morrissey’s life. Oktober 23, 1853, the 22-year-old Morrissey beat Yankee Sullivan for the world bare knuckle championship in a disputed decision. Sullivan actually knocked Morrissey out
I first read about William Muldoon in a biography of John L. Sullivan, the last bare knuckle heavyweight champion. Sullivan ushered in gloved boxing by refusing to take part in any more bare knuckle bouts. The last major bare knuckle bout was fought by Sullivan against Jake Kilrain in 1889. Odds were against Sullivan, a binge drinker indulging heavily between bouts. Han var
Anderson Silva, bredt anerkendt som den største blandet martial kunstner af hele tiden, mistede sin rematch med Chris Wiedman for UFC mellemvægt titel på December 28, 2013. Wiedman havde besejret Silva til titlen juli 6, 2013. Det var Silvas første tab på syv år med Ultimate Fighting Championship. He was the middleweight champion for over 6
Sam McVey, der blev betragtet som den Idol Paris, i løbet af sin boksning karriere fra 1902 til 1921, er stort set glemt i dag. En af de største sorte sværvægtere i sin tid, han blev frosset ud af at kæmpe for verden titel, selv efter Jack Johnson besejrede Tommy Burns i 1908. McVey lost to Jack Johnson three times early in his career
