Matty Matthews Beats Kerwin in Nine Rounds at Toronto
In 1898 Matty Matthews defeated George Kerwin in nine rounds in Toronto. Kerwin, born in Providence and based in Toronto, held the Canadian welterweight title at the time. The loss spurred a waning career, as Kerwin fought few meaningful bouts thereafter while Matthews rose to welterweight world champion in 1900 before a later KO loss to Rube Ferns. Kerwin, nicknamed The Mystery, had a solid early run as lightweight and featherweight, with two career knockouts against rivals who tied his earlier humiliation. Matthews fought on until 1904, then retired after defeats by Mellody, Martin, Curty, and Ferns.
