Boxers eye coast fights after Hanlon defeat
Kid Herman vows focus on top contenders as his win over Eddie Hanlon boosts his confidence. Reported talks suggest Britt Nelson bout possibilities in San Francisco, with Herman eyeing the winner of Corbett versus Herron and potential clashes with Battling Nelson or Jimmie Britt. Gans aims to redeem against Mike Sullivan next month, while Hanlon retires from fighting after a notable career marked by the distinctive “turthy crouch” style. Britt’s return hints at a San Francisco showdown as the next major bout rumor builds on the coast.
