Kedden, Március 22, 1910, Dr. Benjamin Roller met Stanislaus Zbyszko in a legitimate wrestling match.

Stanislaus, who was 12 years older, posed the last real threat to Frank Gotch’s World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Wladek Zbyszko was a skilled wrestler in his own right.

On December 16, 1917, Frank Alvin Gotch lost a three week battle with uremic poisoning. Doctors attempted to keep his kidneys going through an operation in Chicago but it provided only temporary relief. Gotch intended to travel to Hot Springs, Arkansas to try and restore his health. The operation ended this hope. Gotch spent the last couple weeks only able
No one took advantage of the No Decision era of professional boxing like Battling Levinsky. Levinsky was a skilled defensive boxer, who took little damage during his fights. When Ring Magazine asked him why he was so active, sometimes taking 3 fights in a day around New York, Levinsky said, “I like money and I never get hurt.” Levinsky was
Hétfőn, Február 7, 1887, Evan “Strangler” Lewis and “Kis Demon” Joe Acton Chicagóban, a Battery D-ben találkozott, Illinois. Ez lenne az első a férfiak közötti kiállítási összecsapások közül.
