Gotch vs. Zbyszko Sasa Inapatikana
Frank Gotch alitawala mieleka ya Marekani kutoka 1905 hadi kustaafu kwake 1913. Gotch, Bingwa wa sasa wa Mieleka wa Uzito wa Juu wa Marekani, alishinda mechi kubwa zaidi ya maisha yake mnamo Aprili 3, 1908. Gotch alimshinda Bingwa wa sasa wa Mieleka wa Uzani wa Heavyweight Georg Hackenschmidt huko Chicago, Illinois.

Gotch alithibitisha kuwa Bingwa wa Dunia kama vile alivyokuwa Bingwa wa Amerika. Gotch agreed to stipulations, like throwing his opponent three times in under thirty minutes or forfeit the match, to generate fan interest in his contests.
Gotch’s manager Emil Klank recruited European wrestlers to travel to America. Fans turned out to see Gotch wrestle foreign wrestlers with strong reputations like Hackenschmidt and Yussuf Mahmout.
At the end of 1909, Polish wrestler Stanislaus Zbyszko traveled to the United States to wrestle Frank Gotch. The men wrestled in Chicago during June 1910. Gotch emerged victorious in a controversial contest.
Why did Gotch avoid another match with Zbyszko? Did he think Zbyszko would beat him? Were outside forces weighing on the champion? What could explain the formerly fearless champion failing to arrange the biggest money match available to him?
I answer all these questions in Gotch vs. Zbyszko: Jitihada ya Ukombozi released at Amazon on February 2, 2002 in Hardcover, Paperback, and e-book.
The book covers Stanislaus Zbyszko’s first tour of the United States between 1909 na 1914. I covered Zbyszko’s second trip to the United States, where he wrestled between 1921 na 1925 katika Kuvuka Mara Mbili Utatu wa Vumbi la Dhahabu: Stanislaus Zbyszko’s Last Hurrah.
I hope you like the book. I appreciate anyone leaving a review. Thanks for being a website reader.
