SI ee Terr rrrrrrcre ee eee ee ee 2 2 | yesterday at Los Anxeles between At Featherweight champions have stood next to the heavy weight kings im popular favor. A fight between big men has always been more attractive than one in a lighter class, but the featherweight champions have been so great that size was forgotten, George Dixon, Terry MeGovern and Young Corbett, who were featherweight champions, were among the greatest fight- ore. The featherweight class was started in 1833, when Jimmy Sanford, the “Australian phenom,” dete ail comers at 122 pounds, That opened the way for 122-pound fighters, and they came up thick and fast, so fast that for many years there was no recognized champion. The country was full of good fighters at that weight. Tommy Warrea of Los Angeles was the tast Wir” cham. pion of whom there is a record. Warren was a barekuuckle fighter, and was at bis best in the early ‘SOs. He gradually faded from view and at the same time George Dizon, the little negro, appeared. Dixon was probably the oe of all time. He wae a great boxer and had « knockdtt In hand. Dixon's first great rival was Cal MoCarthy, a 70roand draw, but Dixon whipped MeCarthy In a return fight. Dixon became champion in 1800 title until he went against Terry MeGovern. Age’ Little Chocolate” and MeGovern beat him in six duplicated this feat later tn eight rounds. Young Corbett took the title from MeGoverm at 136 pounds. Corbett then went Into the lightweight class The title had no claimant for three years. Frankie Neil all com ers and claimed the champtonship, which be held a year, losing it to Abe Attell in 1906.
