Q: What was the longest recorded bout in the history of boxing and who were the two participants?

[Smokin']

Joe Gans - Battle Nelson.

Under Queensberry Rules, that honour would go to Andy Bowen & Jack Burke, who fought for 110 rounds in a fight which took more than seven hours in total time.

Oh shoot, forget to propose a question.

Umm...Alright, I hope this isn't all that difficult, but who was the first ever Russian born fighter to win a world championship?

[Yogi]

nice googling

No google for me...but books are good to have around.

[Smokin']

True.

By the way, I don't know your answer. The only russian born fighter I know of is Tszyu.

Yogi's what we call "Princeton Material" lol

[Smokin']

I've never actually heard him give his own opinion. He just regurgitates facts over and over.

I'll take a stab at your question Yogi...although I don't know if it's right...

Was it the flyweight champ Yuri Arbachkov(sp?) He made several defenses of the WBC flyweight title and lost it to Sasakul, who Manny Pacquiao later knocked out.

Hey Yogi just for a bonus on that longest fight ever question...do you remember how much the purse was?
