Scottish catch wrestler Dan McLeod circa 1909. McLeod held the American Heavyweight Championship two times. (ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಡೊಮೇನ್)
McLeod possessed the size advantage. McLeod stood five feet, six inches tall but weighed 200 ಪೌಂಡ್. McLeod was more thickly muscled than the five feet, ten-inch, 165-pound Burns. Burns was strong for his size, but McLeod possessed the power advantage.
Both men were 36 ವರ್ಷ. ಹೇಗಾದರೂ, Burns debuted in 1879 ಮೇಲೆ 18 ವರ್ಷ. McLeod did not start wrestling until 1890 giving Burns an eleven-year experience advantage. It also meant Burns had a lot more mileage on his body from wars in the ring with Evan “Strangler” Lewis, ಜೆ.ಎಚ್. McLaughlin, and Charles Green.
After preparing for the match over a year prior, Burns won the American Heavyweight Title from Evan “Strangler” Lewis on April 20, 1895. Burns defended the championship for two years looking dominant in the process. Still, fans and pundits saw McLeod as a serious challenger.
The newspaper reporters filed short, straightforward accounts of this title match leading me to believe the match itself was uneventful. Onlookers often found matches between evenly matched wrestlers to be boring for lack of action. Newspaper reporters often did not have much to write about in the legitimate era.
McLeod won the first fall. He used the neck and crotch hold to pin Burns in twenty-three minutes.
Burns evened it up in the second fall using a combination arm and hammerlock. The newspaper coverage did not detail whether McLeod submitted to the hold or whether Burns pinned him.

McLeod used a half-Nelson from the front to turn Burns onto his back for the third fall at seventeen minutes, thirty seconds. As the fans celebrate, the referee raised McLeod’s signifying he was the new American Heavyweight Wrestling Champion.
Immediately after his victory, Tom Jenkins and Evan “Strangler” Lewis challenged McLeod for his new championship. Jenkins proved to be McLeod’s biggest rival for the American Title.
Martin “Farmer” Burns built a legendary career as both a wrestler and trainer. After losing his title, Burns transitioned into a new career as a trainer. ಅವರು discovered Frank Gotch in 1899.
Dan McLeod held the title for four years, lost it and had one more run with the championship.
