Here's a photo of Jake Kilrain and Jem Smith. In 1887, Kilrain met Smith in France for the Police Gazette championship belt, the most prestigious belt in all of bare-knuckle boxing. After 2 and a half hours and 106 rounds of bare-knuckle fighting, the bout was declared a draw due to darkness. After the bout, Richard K. Fox, editor of the legendary Police Gazette, recognized Kilrain as the champion. Just think about that, 2 and a half hours, 106 rounds of bare-knuckle boxing, these guys were from the planet Krypton.
