January 24, 1956-

Honolulu, Hawaii-

Undefeated welterweight prospect Stan Harrington improved to 18-0 with a 2nd round knockout of veteran middleweight Mickey Rhodes.

Harrington would go on to become a perennial junior middleweight contender who fought the most of the best welterweights, junior middleweights, and middleweights of his era. He had two shots at the world junior middleweight title, losing 15 round decisions to Denny Moyer in 1963 and Ki Soo Kim in 1966.

Harrington compiled a record of 64-18-3 with 26 knockouts. He faced 7 men, Virgil Akins, Paddy DeMarco, Moyer, Curtis Cokes, Emile Griffith, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Kim, who held world titles during their careers and 6, Carlos Chavez, Gaspar Ortega, Moyer, Cokes, Griffith, and Robinson, who were later inducted into the IBHOF and/or the WBHOF. He compiled records of 4-5 against the former, reigning, and future champions he faced and 6-5 against the future Hall of Famers.

Other notable boxers Harrington beat included Chico Vejar, Joe Miceli, Charley 'Tombstone' Smith, LC Morgan, Manuel Gonzalez, Garland 'Rip' Randall, Isaac Logart, Tony Montano, Billy Collins, Gabe Terronez, Ferd Hernandez, Jose Stable, Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter, and Jimmy Lester.

Despite his many impressive wins, Harrington is probably best remembered for the dubious distinction of defeating a 44-year-od Robinson twice in 1965. (Robinson fought 14 times in 1965, the last year of his career, winning 8, losing 5, and engaging in 1 No Contest.) It should be noted that Harrington posted most of his major wins before he fought Sugar Ray. His win over Terronez came in between his wins over Sugar Ray while his wins over Hernandez, Stable, Carter, and Lester came after the Robinson fights as did his second world title shot.

On this day in 1950, Joey Maxim wins the world Light Heavyweight title with a tenth round knockout over Freddie Mills, London.


1982 Eusebio Pedroza retains his WBA world Featherweight title with a fifteen round unanimous decision over Juan Laporte in Atlantic City. The fight proves controversial: many observers thought they had seen Pedroza commit a large amount of infractions which, in their opinion, could have led to points deductions or disqualification.




Any my Philly insertion.

A no name somewhat however.

Mike Youngblood Williams fought for the last time in his career on this day in 1981, losing by 6th round TKO to Joe Tiberi at the Martin Luther King Arena (formerly The Philadelphia Arena).

Williams, once a promising young Philly welterweight, never really panned out as legitimate prospect. He started his career in 1973 and by the end of 1976 had reeled off 14 straight victories (7 by KO). This streak brought him into a bout with Alfonso Hayman on June 27, 1977. The two young Philly welterweights staged a gory, glorious war at the Spectrum. After 10 tough rounds, the fight was declared a draw. The natural and hotly anticipated rematch was scheduled as the semi-windup for Saad Muhammad vs. Kates in 1978. But Williams pulled out of the fight due to an auto accident that badly scarred his face. The rematch never happened. Williams fought just two more times, including the loss to Tiberi.

Joey Maxim KOs Freddie Mills

Joey Maxim On this day in 1950, Joey Maxim won the world light heavyweight title with a 10th-round knockout of Freddie Mills in London, England.

Maxim had been fighting as a professional for nine years and had faced some of the best of his era, including Ezzard Charles and Jimmy Bivins, when he signed to fight Mills. The British Mills had won the title with a decision over Gus Lesnevich in 1948. Maxim was his first defense of the belt.

The bout was an exercise in facial damage, and Mills’ handlers had to fish loose teeth out of his mouth following the seventh and eighth rounds. Midway through the tenth, Maxim nailed Mills with a left to the solar plexus and followed it with a short, smashing one-two. The champion went to the canvas for good.

Mills retired after the bout, while Maxim held the title for more than two years before losing it to Archie Moore in 1952.

Passed Away On This Day

1943- Joe Choynski (born Joseph Bartlett Choynsk in San Francisco, California November 8, 1868 – January 24, 1943)
American boxer who fought professionally from 1888 to 1904.
"Chrysanthemum Joe", the son of a Polish immigrant that settled in California in 1867, weighed no more than 176 lb (80 kg) throughout his career but regularly fought heavyweights. He was considered a heavy puncher and a dangerous fighter.
Jack Johnson standing behind Joe Choynski. 1909 Chicago Daily News photo
In fact, James J. Jeffries claimed that the hardest blow he ever received in a bout came from Choynski during their 20-round draw. During that bout, Choynski hit Jeffries with a right hand so powerful that the punch drove one of Jeffries' teeth into his lip. The tooth was lodged so deep that one of Jeffries' cornermen was forced to cut it out with a knife between rounds.
A contemporary of heavyweight champion "Gentleman Jim" (James J. Corbett), the two fought professionally three times. Both were from the San Francisco area, and thus generated a lot of local interest in their rivalry. The highlight of their series of bouts was fought on June 5, 1889, on a barge off the coast of Benicia, California.
The principals agreed that the bout was to be fought wearing two ounce gloves. Corbett had apparently hurt his hand, and Choynski learned of the injury. Accordingly, Choynski "forgot" to bring his gloves to the match, thereby hoping the fight would proceed as a bare-knuckle bout. Corbett, however, declined to fight bare-knuckle, but agreed to allow Choynski to wear leather riding gloves borrowed from a spectator. The riding gloves were seamed, and caused Corbett to suffer many cuts and welts. Nevertheless, Corbett won the legendary bout when he KOed Choynski in the 27th round.
In 1892 he KOd a 39 year old legend in Old Chocolate Godfrey.
Choynski was never given an opportunity to fight for the heavyweight title, but enjoyed some stunning successes against famed heavyweights James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson before they became champions. For example, he held the heavier, larger, and stronger Jeffries to a 20-round draw on November 30, 1892. On February 25, 1901, he faced and KO'ed the young Jack Johnson in 3 rounds. He then began to train Johnson, helping the younger man develop the style that enabled him to become world champion.
Choynski also fought six-round draws with two other men who later claimed the heavyweight championship of the world: Bob Fitzsimmons on June 17, 1894, and Marvin Hart on November 16, 1903.
In 1998, Choynski’s ability and ring-record were officially recognised by his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Choynski, who was Jewish, was inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 1991

Here is a piece on Foreman/Lyle from Bert Sugar in 2006

It was, in the words of Red Smith, who had witnessed almost all of the heavyweight bouts in the more than 50 years of his career at ringside, "The most two-sided battle of heavyweights in recent memory." It was the George Foreman-Ron Lyle heavyweight set-to.

The scheduled 12-round heavyweight elimination contest between Foreman, the former heavyweight champion, and Ron Lyle, the number-five ranked contender, was reminiscent of a battle between two bull moose locked in battle, butting heads to protect their turf. A classic exhibition of the manly art of self-defense, it was not. It fell somewhere in between the manly art of self-destruction and a down-and-out bar fight, tempered in part by a hint of something right out of an old Laurel and Hardy film clip -- you know, Ollie hits Stanley in the face with a custard pie, Stanley reciprocates with a good, swift kick in the shins of the incredulous Ollie, who, in turn, plants a right to the top of the head of hit-willing foil, et cetera, etc., etc., the et ceteras going on for about five pages or more. It was, in short, a marvelous mélange of mayhem, with Foreman and Lyle playing it to the hilt, turning it from a comedic sketch into a war, a war in which neither side was seeking survivors.

Foreman had not fought since he lost the heavyweight title to Muhammad Ali in "The Rumble in the Jungle" some 15 months before. That is, if you don't count his exhibition fights, including the afternoon in Toronto the previous April when he took on five different opponents in one afternoon. The "match" had all the trappings of low burlesque as Foreman "battled" a group of has-beens, never-wases and even a "kissing bandit," parading around the ring as boxers. It was such a low blow to Foreman's already shaky psyche that he exited the stage left, after his episode with the five, and remained inactive for yet another nine months -- a proper gestation period for him to put together a new fighting "family," including the veteran Gil Clancy and trainer Kid Rapidez, and embarked upon a comeback in quest of the heavyweight champion he viewed as rightfully his.

"I think 1976 is going to be the year of George Foreman," the 27-year-old ex-champ intoned solemnly to those who were willing to listen. "I think with the bicentennial coming up, it's going to mean a lot to me. I feel I have a lot to do with the image of the United States," the man who had once carried America's colors around the Olympic ring immodestly said. Now waving the flag again, he also admitted to having something to do with "the image of young people as well. And, if I can lose the title in one year, and win it back in 1976, it will inspire George Foreman to do a lot of other things."

George's reference to his self-perceived All-American image dated back to his glory days at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City when he held a tiny American flag in his massive hand -- in contrast to other Black athletes who chose, instead, to hold up a black-gloved, black -power salute after their victories.

Born in Marshall, Texas, on Jan. 10, 1949, the fifth of seven children born to a railroad construction worker, George was somewhat of a delinquent as a youngster. A high-school dropout, he spent the better part of two years hanging around street corners contemplating wayward acts. In his own words: "You name it, I've done it." Inspired by footballer Jim Brown, George then joined America's Job Corps and was sent to Fort Vannoy Conservation Center in Oregon where he learned the trades of masonry and carpentry. And boxing under the tutelage of Doc Broadus, the Parks Job Corps Center vocational guidance director.

In 1967 George terminated his training in the Job Corps after winning the national Amateur Athletic Union heavyweight title, a victory which assured him a spot on the 10-man Olympic team headed to Mexico City.

His gold-medal performance in Mexico City behind him, George turned pro in June of 1969. George fought at regular intervals, winning most of his fights against some of the greatest no-names in boxing history, many of whom were not even household names in their households -- except for his crushing win over the durable and tough George Chuvalo, whom he destroyed in less than three rounds.

On Jan. 22, 1973, in Kingston, Jamaica, Foreman challenged the undefeated Joe Frazier for the heavyweight championship. Frazier, a 3-1 favorite, was floored six times by Foreman before referee Arthur Mercante had had enough, even if Frazier hadn't, and called a halt to the slaughter at 1:35 of the second round.

Foreman's first title defense was in Tokyo against someone called Joe "King" Roman. The fight was over in less than two minutes of the first round. The powerful Foreman smashed the inept Roman to the canvas three times with devastating right-hand blows, one time even resorting to the unnecessary tactic of hitting Roman after he was down.

Next he defended his title against challenger Ken Norton in Caracas, Venezuela, the bout lasting five minutes as Foreman smashed Norton to the canvas three times with such a dull thud that Norton's trainer, Bill Slayton, personally jumped into the ring to stop the mismatch.

George Foreman/Muhammad Ali
In Zaire Ali bided his time, then came off the ropes to stun Foreman.

But Foreman, the indestructible, came tumbling down from his seemingly invincible perch on Oct. 29, 1974, in Kinshasa, Zaire, when Muhammad Ali "rope-a-doped" his way to an eighth-round knockout in what was billed as "The Rumble in the Jungle."

Now George, having suffered the slings and arrows of his once idolatrous public, was determined to make a serious comeback. His choice for an opponent was the sinister-looking Ron Lyle. Lyle, by his own admission, had been to "hell and back." The third of 19 children, Lyle had spent 72 years of a 15-to-25-year sentence for second degree murder in the Colorado State Penitentiary in Canon City, where once, after a prison brawl, the seriously injured Lyle had been declared "clinically dead."

His life in the ring was also one of survival, his career a series of comebacks. "I've made so many comebacks in and out of the ring that I've lost count," Lyle was to say. "When I was twenty, I was cut up in a gang fight and pronounced dead, but I came back. All those years in a jail cell, and I came back, all the way to a title shot with Ali. I lost to Ali, but I came back to knock out Earnie Shavers. I lost to Jerry Quarry, and came back to beat Oscar Bonavena and Jimmy Ellis."

Lyle had begun boxing professionally in 1971. After four years, he had won 29, with 20 knockouts against only two losses, good enough to earn him a title shot against Muhammad Ali. Lyle stunned the experts by out¬scoring Ali, and was leading on all cards through the first 10 rounds before succumbing to an Ali attack in the eleventh. In Lyle's mind, it was time for yet another comeback.

The first round of the battle was a little slow as the two circled the ring, sizing up the other. Suddenly, a sneak right hit Foreman so hard his pants almost fell off. As his trunks drooped dangerously low, Foreman staggered around the ring like a drunk trying to find his two legs under him. The bell rang saving George from further embarrassment. And harassment.

Rounds two and three were Foreman's, but just slightly, as Lyle spent a lot of time trapped in corners and not doing much about it. Foreman seemed to justify the 5-2 odds favoring him by popping away at Lyle, but not inflicting any real damage. By the end of the third, Lyle's eye was beginning to puff. But that was the extent of the damage done by Foreman's blows.

The fourth round was another story. Stunned by a right hand early in the round, Foreman went down like the proverbial sack of wheat, landing flat on his head as if he were trying to assume a Yoga position. He got up hurt, and angry, and fired a roundhouse right that dislodged Lyle's mouthpiece. A left hook knocked Lyle under the lowest rope. Lyle got up with a look that said, "OK, now it's my turn." And it was. A wild left-right dropped Foreman on his shoulder. Everyone, including promoter Don King, who was in attendance -- and hollering, "Now we won't have to deal with Foreman anymore" -- thought it was over. But the bell saved the fallen Foreman.

Foreman's new cornerman, Gil Clancy, laid down the law to Foreman between rounds: "He's hurt and you're hurt& The one that's gonna win is the one who wants it most." And with that he thrust his forefinger into Foreman's massive chest, saying, "Do you want it most?"

"Sure I do, Gil," Foreman answered. But when he got off his stool for the fatal fifth, his knees quivered.

The two combatants met in the center of the ring, both spent from their efforts and their pounding, both of and to each other, and commenced pummeling one another. A left hook drove Lyle's mouthpiece out of his mouth.

"When the mouthpiece went," Lyle said afterwards, "I lost control of my breathing for a while. That was the main thing. I had split earlier in the week and it was too late to have new one made."

Thirty seconds later, a barrage of blows from Foreman caught Lyle in his corner. Lyle seemed about to pitch forward on his face. When a man lands on his face, he hardly ever gets up. Lyle didn't and it was over at 2:28 of the fifth.

"It was definitely the toughest fight I ever had," Foreman said after the fight. "It could have gone either way. But I think I showed a lot of determination. I proved to have a little heart, and I could have gotten up in Africa, too," he said, alluding to the Ali knockout.

"But this time I got some instructions on what to do if I got hurt," said George, referring to Clancy's exhortation, "and I didn't look in any corner, I knew I had to get up. When I went down I said & please forgive me for saying this, 'I'll be G*d-damned if somebody is going to knock me out."

Writer Len Koppett, when asked if he had ever seen anyone fight like Foreman and Lyle, answered, "Sure, John Garfield, many times." But other than Garfield, few had ever seen such a stirring "two-sided" fight.
