They also didn't oil themselves up. So each hit would leave severe bruising and scraping

The fact they did it for 7 hours implies the fighting was shit

They probably just circled each other for 6.8 of that

There was so much fighting back then. And I don't mean like a lot of people fought so much as I mean those that did, did so for a long damn time.

There was a street fight between the Bowery Boys and the Dead Rabbits, altogether totally nearly a thousand gang members, using all manner of weapons, for almost three days. Police either stood by, were chased off, or were kept from interfering by makeshift barricades the opposing gangs came together to erect.

Given the silly clinching slow dances shown in some much shorter modern matches, the bulk of the match time certainly did not involve punching. Theres just no way the human body would ever have enough energy to keep up with actual fighting for seven hours.

The prize was the Lightweight Championship of the South and a purse of $2,500. Burke was the favorite in the beginning, winning the first 25 rounds, but Iron Bowen refused to be knocked out.

He knocked Burke down in the 25th round, but the bell rang before Burke could be counted out.
