James "Jim" Pratt



Présentation:
The trainer to the right of M Moore and Pat O'Keefe was my grandfather Jim Pratt. He was really very young! My name is like him, James Jim Pratt. After boxing as an amateur, I did a bit of cycling. Like him, my chronometer watch is always on time! I also know how to set the record straight

Palmarès:
Trainer in his early days, then official timekeeper for all the great boxing fights of the last century ... In the mythical Madison Square Garden and all the other high places in the world where the biggest boxing fights took place, there are sounded the gong. Never has a round exceeded 3 'when officiating. He was a legend of timing. He holds the record for the number of gong strokes given in France to the Cirque d'Hiver with a number of 97 strokes! It was the match between Joe Jeannette and Sam Mac Vea. Jeannette had won by abandonment at the end of the 49th round without being able to knock Mac Véa down. It was a fight to the finish!
