Gypsy Jack Cooper (STORY)

Share

GYPSY JACK COOPER AND HIS BROTHER.

Bare knuckle fighting is an ancient gypsy and traveller tradition and many of today's gypsy/traveller boxers come from a long line of bare knuckle fighters. Living a life that can be challenging and tough, gypsy/travelling men had to look after themselves from an early age. Probably the most famous of the old time 19 century gypsy bare knuckle fighters was Gypsy Jack Cooper, who was transported to Australia. he later won his freedom and was reported to have died in Tasmania aged 105, which would have made him the longest lived fighter of all time!

---

BARE KNUCKLE FIGHTING was particularly popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries but early fighting was
crude, with no written rules to prevent kicking, gouging, grappling, biting, head-butting or blows below the belt.  Weight divisions came in fairly early, using Lightweight, Middleweight and Heavyweight groupings.  All men up to nine stone (126lbs) were classed as “Lightweight”, with a seven stone man being in the 6 stone.12lbs (96-98lbs) class of the lightweight division or league, and so on up the scale.  In bare knuckle days, many bouts were taken on a give-or-take nil basis and if a man didn’t make the stipulated weight at first time of asking, he paid a forfeit.   Nine stone up to ten stone was classified as “Middleweight”, and anyone over ten stone as “Heavyweight”.  Many small men were classed as lightweights, and a fair few as middleweights, but heavyweights, especially in the United Kingdom, were very rare, a ten stone man being considered good enough to beat “Anyone in the world”.

There were no weight divisions or time limits on rounds and there were no referees as such, in the early days they were often called “Umpires” but they were always outside the ring!

The few rules that governed fights, called the London Prize Ring Rules, were drawn up in 1743 by heavyweight champion Jack Broughton in an attempt to help protect fighters in the ring.   It’s believed Broughton wanted such regulations after one of his opponents died as a result of his fight-related injuries and they remained the only written rules for well over one hundred years.

A bare knuckle round was not necessarily timed, but usually ended when a fighter was knocked down.  Once floored, the fighter had about 30 seconds before the fight restarted, no rest was allowed and fighters were instantly disqualified if they fell down from exhaustion.  Broughton was also responsible for encouraging the use of ‘Mufflers’, a primitive form of padded gloves that at first were only used in training and exhibitions, but became the forerunners of modern gloves to protect the fighter's hands and the opponent's face.


In more recent times, Bartley Gorman was a very famous Gypsy boxer.   Between the years of 1971 and 1992 he held the title of Bare Knuckle Champion of Great Britain and Ireland, but was often simply known as “King of the Gypsies”. Bartley witnessed first hand the violence of bare knuckle fights from an early age, but because it came instinctively to him, he became a natural successor to his fighting ancestors. 
The unlicensed fight game still goes on today, and although it is not illegal, it can be seen as a rougher, more brutal side of the sport.  Unlicensed boxing covers a wide range of fighters and fighting contests, but it doesn't mean that the fighters are taking part in anything illegal.   Most matches are staged in leisure centres, nightclubs and halls, with gloves, referees, trainers and medics.  However, some of the fights are not staged under strict conditions by many organisations.  Unlicensed fights still go on today, but these contests are usually held under secrecy, away from the public.

The two greatest together.
Bartley gormen and ali.

Floyd Mayweather

Share

American professional boxer Floyd Mayweather was born on February 24, 1977, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He won three national Golden Gloves and an Olympic bronze medal in 1996, and became a professional boxer that same year. By 2007, he was considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world and had 38 undefeated bouts. He retired in 2008, but returned to the ring in September 2009.

Boxing Success

Away from the circus of his family, Mayweather found peace and control in the ring. Known as Pretty Boy early in his career for his unmarked face, Mayweather, with his fast, precise style, won the National Golden Gloves in 1993, 1994 and 1996.While he finished 84-6 as an amateur, his pre-professional career ended bitterly at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta when he lost a controversial decision and was forced to settle for a bronze medal.Mayweather turned professional on October 11, 1996. As a pro, Mayweather continued to win at an astonishing rate. With his father serving as both manager and trainer, he won several easy bouts during his first two years, which he capped off by capturing his first world title, the WBC junior lightweight championship.

This is going to be a great fight and i cant wait to see it myself.

mike tyson: best heavyweight of all time.

In my opinion, in his prime he would have beat any of today's 'Heavyweights'.

.
He was ranked No.1 in the ESPN.com list of "The hardest hitters in heavyweight history".
Despite his loses later on in his career, i still think he was the best who ever claimed to be an heavyweight in the ring. 
After the death of his trainer, boxing manger, and legal guardian Cus D'Amato, he should have retired from the world of boxing, because i honestly believe if Cus D'Amato was with tyson at the end of is career, he would not have been defeated.

Bartley Gorman: King Of The Gypsies

He also talks at length about his gypsy heritage and the family breed that he represents in the ring. Meadows’ dream project is a full length, biographical film about the life of Bartley Gorman.
