Would you believe, 110 rounds? Oh, and the fight lasted seven hours and 19 minutes! Wow!

The fight on April 6, 1893 took place in New Orleans. The title was the lightweight championship of the south for purse of $2,500 (a huge amount at that time.) Both fighters suffered considerable injuries, while the referee was replaced in round 93. Finally, the fight was stopped after 110 rounds, being scored a draw.
