Duke and Gloves (1922)
by Bohun Lynch

Info:
"In this piddling-known gem of boxing history published in 1923, author Bohun Lynch observes, "At that place was a delightful simplicity almost the quondam battle matches." The men fought to the finish; that is, when i failed to meet his opponent in the eye of the band. A round ended with a knockdown or a fall from wrestling, and simply xxx seconds were allowed for rest and recovery. From the giants of bare-knuckle prize fighting through the pioneers of gloved combat, the men of these early years forged the renowned science of battle in the cauldron of brutal, encarmine, long-lasting bouts that would be inconceivable today.

Duke and Gloves covers this fascinating era in the history of battle - the 18th through early on 20th centuries. By describing in colorful item a number of legendary bouts in chronological order, Lynch provides a valuable exam of the flow when the sport transitioned from the use of blank fists to gloves, as well every bit snapshots of the great fighters of the mean solar day. Jack Dempsey, Jack Johnson, Robert Fitzsimmons and James Corbett are all familiar names to modernistic boxing fans, simply here you will besides read near Frank Slavin, Jem Belcher, Tom Jump, Tom Sayers and other early combatants of the ring. Lynch's informed commentary about the development of battle during this important period makes Knuckles and Gloves a thoroughly enjoyable read for any enthusiast of the sport."
