Thursday, July 8, 2004Tom CribbTom Cribb, champion bareknuckle boxer, was born July 8, 1781 in Hanham, Gloucestershire, England. A former coal porter and sailor, Cribb began his boxing career in 1805, and became one of the most popular and respected fighters in the English prize ring. Although never reckoned as a world titleholder, he defeated two outstanding American athletes, both former black slaves: Bill Richmond, in 1805, and Tom Molineaux, in 1810 and again in 1811, the second contest being an especially savage battle. Cribb also scored two victories over Jem Belcher, a former London Prize Ring champion. He retired after the second Molineaux fight. posted @ 06:14 PM CST [link] |
