词条 | Michael Daley (boxer) |
释义 |
Daley fought and defeated Marcellus Baker of Boston in 1884.[2] The New England lightweight championship had been bestowed on him by 1887, when the VC Club of Gardiner, Maine awarded him a belt emblazoned with the title after an exhibition fight with another Bangor boxer, James Mehan.[3] In 1889 Daley went fifteen rounds in Boston with another boxer formerly from Bangor, Jack McAuliffe, 'The Napoleon of the Ring', who finished his career undefeated. Daley survived with a technical draw.[4] In 1892 Daley was undefeated, and by 1893, was claiming the title of lightweight champion of America.[5] But he had to fight for the title that year against Austin Gibbons, at the Crescent City Club in New Orleans. The contest was a grueling one, and Daley's longest, and ended in his knock-out in the thirty-first round.[6] In 1899 Daley bought the former Elk's Lodge in Bangor and fitted it out as a boxing academy.[7] Daley died in a Bangor jail cell while under arrest for another crime in 1910.[8] He had opened a new boxing club earlier that same year.[9] References1. ^"Two Pugilists Sentenced", New York Times, Feb. 17, 1903 {{DEFAULTSORT:Daley, Michael}}2. ^Lewiston Evening Journal, Oct. 21, 1884, p. 2 3. ^Lewiston Saturday Journal, Feb. 19, 1887, p. 2, 4. ^Chicago Tribune, Dec. 6, 1889, p. 6 5. ^Lewiston Evening Journal, Feb. 4, 1893, p. 23 6. ^"Fighter Found Dead in a Cell", New York Times, Dec. 27, 1910 7. ^Lewiston Evening Journal, Jan. 6, 1899, p. 8 8. ^"Fighter Found Dead in a Cell", New York Times, Dec. 27, 1910 9. ^Boston Daily Globe, Jan. 11, 1910 5 : Sportspeople from Bangor, Maine|Boxers from Maine|1865 births|1910 deaths|American male boxers |
