  • Name: Soldier Bartfield Career Record
    Name: Soldier Bartfield Career Record: http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=011280&cat=boxer Alias: Jakob Bartfeldt Nationality: US American Birthplace: Lancyzn, Budapest Hometown: Brooklyn, NY Born: 1892-03-15 Died: 1970-10-02 Age at Death: 78 Stance: Orthodox Height: 5′ 8½″ Managers: Bob Clark, Dan McKetrick Soldier Bartfield had a remarkable career of over 220 recorded fights, fighting some of the greatest boxers of all time, multiple times, and at the height of their careers. In addition to the verified fights in the linked record, he began his career in Texas while in the army, supposedly fighting Bob French (W Pts 20) and Battling Hansen (W ko 9), among others. Of course his army service gave him his nickname of "Soldier." According to the record posted on BoxRec, Bartfield had fifty-four fights against recognized world champions or title claimants. He fought generally recognized champions Harry Greb five times, Benny Leonard three times, Jack Britton seven times, Ted "Kid" Lewis six times, Mike O'Dowd four times, Mickey Walker three times, Dave Rosenberg twice, Al McCoy seven times, Mike Glover once, Billy Papke once, Jimmy Jones once, Johnny Wilson once, and Jimmy Slattery once; as well as title claimants like Mike Gibbons three times, Mick King once, Bryan Downey three times, "Kid" Graves four times, and Jock Malone once. He defeated Greb, Lewis, Britton, O'Dowd, Graves, McCoy, Downey, King and Papke. The Bridgeport Telegram 21 June 1921 Lou Bogash welterweight champion of New England and one of the leading contenders for Jack Britton's crown, won on a technical knockout from Soldier Bartfield in the third -round of their scheduled fifteen round bout at the Arena last night.

  • Tommy Loughran
    Student Handout 4-Tommy Loughran Despite having fought in the early half of the last century, Tommy Loughran still has an active fan base. He was a prolific fighter, totaling 172 bouts in his career (he won 94—17 by KO—lost 23, drew 9, fought 45 to a “No Decision” result, and recorded one “No Contest”). In his long career, he fought in divisions ranging from the welterweight to the heavyweight. Considered to be a quick fighter who lacked a powerful knockout punch, Loughran nevertheless went undefeated from 1919, the year of his first professional fight, until he came up against Harry Greb in 1923. His style of fighting was based on timing and quickness of the punch, but an injury early in his career influenced his techniques. As the sparring partner for heavyweight great, Jack Dempsey, Loughran tried to get the aging boxer to improve his quickness in preparation for his bout against Gene Tunney. Loughran, who became known as the “Phantom of Philly”, fought against other notables, like the erratic James Braddock and Harry Grebe. When he broke his right hand, after just two years of fighting, Tommy was forced to rely on his left, which became known as one of the best in the history of the Light Heavyweight Division. After having great success in that division, Loughran moved up to the Heavyweight Division. He fought well there, until given a chance at the title versus Primo Carnera, a six foot, 270 giant. With Loughran weighing in at 184, it stands today as the greatest disparity of weight between fighters in a heavyweight title match.

  • Myrrh NPR I129 This Newsletter Is Dedicated to the Nucry of Jim
    International Boxing Research Organization Myrrh NPR i129 This newsletter is dedicated to the nucry of Jim Jacobs, who was not only a personal friend, but a friend to all boxing his- torians. Goodbye, Jim, I'll miss you. From: Tim Leone As the walrus said, "The time has come to talk of many things". This publication marks the 6th IBRO newsletter which has been printed since John Grasso's departure. I would like to go on record by saying that I have enjoyed every minute. The correspondence and phone conversations I have with various members have been satisfing beyond words. However, as many of you know, the entire financial responsibility has been paid in total by yours truly. The funds which are on deposit from previous membership cues have never been forwarded. Only four have sent any money to cover membership dues. To date, I have spent over $6,000.00 on postage, printing, & envelopes. There have also been a quantity of issues sent to prospective new members, various professional groups, and some newspapers.I have not requested, nor am I asking or expecting any re-embursement. The pleasure has been mine. However; the members have now received all the issues that their dues (sent almost two years ago) paid for. I feel the time is prudent to request new membership dues to off-set future expenses. After speaking with various members, and taking into consideration the post office increase April 1, 1988, a sum of $20.00, although low to the point of barely breaking even, should be asked for.

Flynn The Berkshire Eagle 14 September 1965 FORMER BOXING GREAT Dave Shade discusses his controversial world welterweight championship bout against Mickey Walker while visiting here at the home of his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. William Shade of 263 Barker Road. The fight was held 40 years ago a week from tonight. Walker retained the title, but most newspapermen at ringside felt Shade should have been voted the winner. Shade and his wife drove here from New Smyrna Beach, Fla., where they operate a motel. Shade, now 63, weighs 160 pounds, which was what he weighed in his last fight 30 years ago. 2 Dave Shade, the fellow who was called by many "the uncrowned king of the welterweights," still thinks he licked Mickey Walker for the title 40 years ago next Tuesday night in New York. He said so yesterday in the living room of the home of his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. William Shade of 263 Barker Road, where the 63 year-old former boxer and his wife are spending a vacation from New Smyrna Beach, Fla.

  • Tommy Gibbons Career Record: Click Nationality: US American Birthplace: St
    Tommy Gibbons Written by Rob Snell Thursday, 03 May 2007 Thomas J. Gibbons Name: Tommy Gibbons Career Record: click Nationality: US American Birthplace: St. Paul, MN Hometown: Saint Paul, MN Born: 1891-03-22 Died: 1960-11-19 Age at Death: 69 Stance: Orthodox Height: 6' 0? Reach: 74 inches (born March 22, 1891 in St. Paul, Minnesota, died November 19, 1960) was a boxer who lost the Heavyweight Championship to Jack Dempsey in 15 rounds. The brother of Mike Gibbons, Tommy started boxing professionally in 1911 as a middleweight. Like his brother he was a master scientific boxer who chose to outbox his opponents. In time, he advanced to the Heavyweight class and developed a respectable punch. His biggest fight came near the end of his career when he met heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey on July 4, 1923 in Shelby, Montana. The local backers and the town of Shelby went broke putting on the fight. The great Dempsey battled through the full fifteen rounds before winning by decision. Dempsey was awarded $200,000, whereas Gibbons received expense money. Tommy Gibbons record was 56-4-1 with 44 no decisions, and 1 no contest.
