Got any more info on this? I'd like to know who the boxers are and why they allowed the fight to go for so long.
@cyborganism they didn't. Sorry to be that guy but there's a lot of misinformation online about this photo and @PugJesus seems to have inadvertently picked up the 7 hours figure from a hoax.
In reality this was a 15 round match from the early 20th century (boxing used to be 15 not 12).
It's sometimes falsely captioned as the famous 7 hour match from the 19th century that went over 100 rounds and 7 hours.
In this case the names are right but the description of the time is wrong.
Edited the title.
Cool. Sorry about the nitpick. I love your content.
No worries. I'd sooner be corrected than spread misinformation.
Yeah I saw that with a quick search of their names. Oh well.
Ray Campbell and Dick Hyland. Think it was before humane rules and norms to limit this kind of thing came about.
