A good source or sources for archived fight records from that era. Ireland is where I am looking first, then England.
I'm looking for anything on Thomas Jennings, or as his ring name was- "Captain Tom Jennings". About the only stat I have comes through oral hist. His last win and supposed last fight went 87 rounds. That's the era I'm researching,
87 rounds, no gloves, just heavy canvas rapping. Also, most fights were held outside, no tent no nothing. Tom Jennings was a relative, but apparently no one in the family has a photo of him. I'll settle for stats. Pictures are too much to even contemplate.
