Gans-Herman Fight

• Watchlist

After the first round the action is rapid, the men fighting fast, with Herman making wild swings and rushes, losing his head often. Gans is careful and alert, punishing his smaller opponent unmercifully in the sixth and seventh rounds. In the eighth the "knock out" occurs. This takes place in Gans' corners, caused by a right-hand blow to Herman's jaw, and when notified in advance by Humphreys of what was coming no one missed it. The after scenes, with Herman insensible, the crowd surging in the ring and the sheriff ordering the building cleared ended the exhibition.
