February 26, 1943-
Olympia Stadium, Detroit, Michigan-
Only 3 weeks after suffering his first career loss, Sugar Ray Robinson avenges that loss by winning his rubber match with Jake LaMotta via a 10-round, unanimous decision.
The two future Hall of Famers would fight another 3 times. Robinson won all 3 including their February 14, 1951 bout in which Robinson took the world middleweight title from LaMotta, stopping him in the 13th round.
FEBRUARY 26th
1954 and Lulu Perez beats Willie Pep via 2nd round ko. It is widely felt that Pep took a dive. Sports Illustrated reported he did dive for 16 grand and Pep sued them for 75 mil. I don't know what the outcome was. Pep was down 3 times in rd 2 for an auto stop. All reports suggest a fix was in.
Fight is in Tokyo so it was on this day in 1968 we have an interesting Australian stat. Lionel Rose beats World Bantamweight champ Fighting Harada via a 15 round, unanimous decision to become boxing's first aboriginal champ in history.

Passed Away On This Day
1918- Terry McGovern (born born John Terrence McGovern in Johnstown, Pennsylvania March 9, 1880–February 22, 1918)
Known as Terrible Terry he was a boxer who held the world bantamweight and featherweight titles
McGovern won the bantamweight crown in 1899 when he knocked out Pedlar Palmer in 1 round. He never defended the title and relinquished it in 1900.
He then moved up in weight and captured the featherweight crown from George Dixon on January 9, 1900, by scoring a technical knockout in the eighth round. As a featherweight, McGovern was involved in some controversial bouts. For example he is credited with knocking out Aurelio Herrera in defense of his crown in 5 rounds. Herrera afterwards claimed he had been doped during the fight. McGovern is also credited with scoring a 2 round knockout over Joe Gans. Gans claimed that he threw the fight.
McGovern lost his crown when he was stopped by Young Corbett II in 2 rounds on November 28, 1902. Corbett also won their rematch
McGovern finished his career with a record of 65 wins (42 KOs) 5 losses and 5 draws. As was common in that era, he also engaged in many No Decision bouts. In 2003, McGovern was named to the Ring Magazine's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time. Boxing historian Nat Fleischer ranked McGovern as the greatest featherweight of all time.
