Anniversaries of Ring Battles at Newmarket 1807
The 1807 bout between John Gully and Bob Gregson in Newmarket lasted 36 rounds. Hen Pearce had been champion and faced retirement as Gully and Gregson vied to succeed him. Gregson twice nearly knocked Gully out, with one dramatic throw and a neck blow that left both exhausted. The London Chronicle called a round the finest by amateurs present. Both fighters waned in strength, and Gully gained a late advantage before collapsing and needing carrying to a carriage. The following year the match continued.
