Nelson Defeats Britt
San Francisco, Sept. 9.—Battling
Nelson last night won the lightweight
championship of the world by defeating
Jimmy Britt.
The fight was the fiercest ever seen
in California, and will go down in the
annals of the prize ring as one of the
greatest battles of the world.
Nelson won in the eighteenth round,
knocking Britt out with a left to the
jaw and wind.
In the first round Britt nearly floored
Nelson by a succession of straight lefts
to the face. Both men were bleeding,
and everything pointed to a short fight.
The pace was very fast.
In the third round Nelson crowded
the fighting, and the Native Son floored
him by a left to the jaw. He was down
for only three seconds.
By the eight round both men were
bleeding freely from the nose and
mouth.
In the thirteenth Britt was groggy
but came up in the fourteenth appar
ently in good condition.
In the eighteenth round Britt land
ed three left hooks on Nelson’s head
and apparently had the Swede going,
when Nelson landed a straight left on
Britt’s jaw and a swing on his wind
that put him completely out of business.
The fight was clean throughout and
the general verdict is that Nelson is un
doubtedly the better man.—Fairbanks
