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. I would be more then willing to continue in the roll of acting publisher until such time, new officers could be elected. If the general membership has any specific requests or ideas concerning publisher or officers, I would be willing to print any and all comments in an up-coming newsletter. Until that time, I have set-up a bank account at Commerce Bank of Manchester, Manchester, MO. (a suburb of St. Louis) under the name of International Boxing Research Organization with my name as signer. Please have your check or money order made out to the IBRo- but send them to: Tim Leone 794 Crescent Woods Dr. IllValley Park, MO 63088 If at such time another publisher is elected, all funds, and an accounting of said funds of will be published in that current newsletter, and the funds will then be forwarded to the new publisher. I would like to thank the following members for there contibutions to this newsletter: John Murphy, Tracy Callis, Bob Soderman, Laurence Fielding, Jack Kincaid, Michael Hunnicutt, L. Robert Davis, Dave Black, Charley Johnson, Paul Zabala, Peter Hutton, Richard Pagano, Lee Kee Chan, and Luckett Davis.

    Georges Carpentier Sur La Riviera En Février 1912, Stéphane Hadjeras

    Georges Carpentier sur la Riviera Février 1912 Stéphane Hadjeras Doctorant en histoire Contemporaine - Université de Franche Comté A la fin de l’année 1911, Georges Carpentier n’avait même pas 18 ans et pourtant sa carrière de pugiliste semblait avoir pris un tournant majeur pour au moins deux raisons. D’abord le 23 octobre, devant un public londonien médusé, il devint, en infligeant au King’s Hall une sévère défaite au britannique Young Joseph, le premier champion d’Europe français. Puis, le 13 décembre, au Cirque de Paris, à la grande surprise des journalistes sportifs et autres admirateurs du noble art, il battit aux points le célèbre « fighter » américain, ancien champion du monde des poids welters, Harry Lewis. Accueilli, en véritable héros à son retour de Londres, par plus de 3000 personnes à la Gare du Nord, plébiscité par la presse sportive après son triomphe sur l’américain, ovationné par un Paris mondain de plus en plus féru de boxe, Georges Carpentier fut en passe de devenir en ce début d’année 1912 l’idole de toute une nation. Ainsi, l’annonce de son combat contre le britannique Jim Sullivan, le 29 février, à Monte Carlo, pour le titre de champion d’Europe des poids moyens, apparut de plus en plus comme une confirmation de l’inéluctable ascension du « petit prodige »1 vers le titre mondial. Monte Carlo. L’évocation de ce lieu provoqua chez le champion un début d’évasion : « La Cote d’Azur, la mer bleue, le ciel plus bleu encore, les palmiers, les arbres avec des oranges ! J’avais vu des affiches et des prospectus.

    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

    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.
