Anniversaries Recall Ring Battles of 1913
In 1913 Freddie Welsh won on a foul from Young Saylor in the ninth round at Winnipeg. Saylor claimed no foul and boasted of beating Welsh as world lightweight champion. Many ringside doubted his claims while others saw a clear foul. Saylor later found little support in America and found fame in Australia as conqueror of Welsh.
