Joe Gans (born Joseph Gant; November 25, 1874 – August 10, 1910) was a boxer. He was rated the greatest lightweight boxer of all time by boxing historian and Ring Magazine founder. Known as the "Old Master", he became the first African-American world boxing champion of the 20th century, reigning as world lightweight champion (1902-08), defending the title 15 times versus 13 boxers. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990. He started boxing professionally in early 1891. Starting in Baltimore, he gained many fans within the boxing world, with his "scientific" approach to fighting. His fighting method involved learning an opponent's strengths and weaknesses to compete with a game plan. He fought through much adversity and unfair stipulations for certain fights. On three separate occasions in 1895, he had to fight an extra round after going the distance. In a fight versus Johnny Van Heest, "Gans had Van Heese whipped to a standstill in the eighth round, but Mr. Daniel Carr, the referee, ordered an extra round. Though Van Heese had none the best of the last round, he was given the decision. Against Bobby Dobbs, "Gans had to stop Dobbs in 10 rounds or get the loser's end of the purse (25 percent) and also had to pay Dobbs $50 for every round after the 10th that the latter was able to stay. Dobbs asked his seconds to throw up the sponge in the middle of the 14th round, claiming a sore hand. Dobbs was down repeatedly, either from knockdowns or going down on his own. In the fight with Buddy King in 1903, they fought in the drizzling rain. Never weighing over 137 pounds, he frequently fought heavier boxers, thus adding to the legend of his scientific fighting technique. He became known as a true student of the sport, earning him the nickname “Old Master.” On January 7, 1895, after knocking out Samuel Allen in three rounds, Allen's second, Bud Brown, immediately challenged to fight him. He accepted and outpointed Brown in a 10-round points decision. He had a final professional record of 145 wins with 100 knockouts, 10 losses, 16 draws, 6 no-contests, and 19 no-decisions (Newspaper Decisions: 13-2-4). #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
