Freddie Welsh
Nationality: British Birthplace: Pontypridd, Wales Hometown: New York, NY Born: 1886-03-05 Died: 1927-07-29 Age at Death: 41 Height: 5' 7 Reach: 68.5 Division: Lightweight Managers: Jack Clancy, Harry Pollock Freddie Welsh Freddie Welsh a great practitioner of defensive boxing. In the ring, he was calm, elusive and a frustrating opponent for those who relied on power and aggression. He welcomed the opportunity to fight a brawler, fully confident that he would be able to outslick him. Born in Wales on March 5, 1886, Frederick Hall Thomas came to America as a teenager and fell in love with boxing after witnessing a workout inside a Philadelphia gym. He turned pro in 1905 and fought under the name of Freddie Welsh. He was also known as The Welsh Wizard. Welsh never shied away from tough competition, meeting Benny Leonard, Willie Ritchie and Ad Wolgast three times and Packey McFarland twice. A true boxing scientist, Welsh was a clever counterpuncher who believed in feinting and shifting his body to draw his opposition out of position. He campaigned in Pennsylvania through 1906, and for a brief period in 1907 he fought a series of bouts in his birthplace of Pontypridd, Wales. The slick boxer returned to the United States and rose to prominence in 1908 after the McFarland bouts. He lost the first contest but fought to a 25-round draw with the great McFarland in their second encounter. Welsh closed out the year with a 15-round decision win over reigning featherweight champ Abe Attell in a non-title fight. -

April 1 —This is the story of the passing of Freddy "Welsh. Technically, he is still lightweight champion of the world. But the honor has become a shadow. The laurel wreath has faded. Ten thousand who saw him in ten fiercely fought rounds at Madison Square Garden last night know that Benny Leonard, of the Bronx, is his master in skill, in speed, in fighting strength and the automatic courage that comes of a firm belief in one's own invincible superiority. For a long time Welsh has had one hold on the consideration of the boxing fans His backers have been able to say "Yes. Ritchie outfought him. He can be forced to run and twist and slip away from punishment But you can't take one thing from him—he can out-clever them all He may not beat any one, but who’s going to outpoint him'" Benny Leonard outpointed Freddy Welsh .He won from him in every round He made him run, made him hold, made him come in and mix it desperately, and he beat him at everything he tried. Has Better of Every Round. Since he fought McFarland, Welsh had never met a man who could walk out and hit him at will. -

Dundee was born Giuseppe Curreri in Sciacca, Sicily, but was raised in the United States. Known as the Scotch Wop, Dundee faced all of the great fighters in the featherweight, lightweight and junior-lightweight divisions of his era. He fought the great Benny Leonard nine times, and Lew Tendler three times. He also boxed lightweight champions Freddy Welsh and Willie Ritchie. Dundee was regarded as a skillful boxer with great footwork. He fought 330 bouts, third in ring history, and won the featherweight and junior lightweight world titles. Dundee was knocked out only twice in his career. His final record was 194 wins (22 KOs), 60 losses and 41 draws. The remaining bouts were No Decisions, which were common during the era in which he fought. He received his first opportunity to win a world title in his 87th fight, in 1913. Although he fought the champion, Johnny Kilbane, to a draw, he would not receive another shot at a title until 1921. By this time he had fought an astounding 264 fights. He won the title when his opponent, George KO Chaney, was disqualified in the fifth round. -

Too heavy for the featherweight class and too light for the lightweights. Murphy developed into the toughest work-horse in both classes. Champions steered clear of him until they lost their titles, Willie Ritchie being the only one to give Harlem Tommy a crack at his crown. But the chance came too late. Murphy was in the yellow of his fighting days when he battled Ritchie for the lightweight championship, April 17, 1914, in San Francisco, and lost in 20 hard- fought rounds. 2 Murphy fought only once more after that, then hung up his gloves ending a checkered career of 12 years of hectic battling. Some ex-champions who felt the thud of Murphy's jarring fists were George Dixon, Young, Corbett, Abe Attell and Ad Wolgast. ATTELL FIGHT TOUGHEST Attell met Murphy twice while still champion, but in ten round no decision affairs. -
