Owen Moran/Jim Driscoll draw

Driscoll Moran On this day in 1913, two of Britain’s all-time greatest, Owen Moran and Jim Driscoll, battled to a draw in London, England.

The two had met once before in a bout that resulted in a no-contest in January of 1906. Later that year, Driscoll won the British featherweight title with a 17th-round knockout of Joe Bowker. He still held the belt when he met Moran for the second time in 1913.

Like most of Moran’s fights, the bout was an all-out war and was ruled a draw in the end. Driscoll announced his retirement shortly after the fight. However, he returned to the ring following his service in World War I. His final fight was a 16th-round knockout at the hands of European bantamweight champion Charles Ledoux in 1919. Moran continued to fight until 1916.
