in the 38th round and had to stop shooting, so  there is no filmed record of who actually won the bout, but  Battling Nelson (qv) delivered a low blow in the 48th round and  was disqualified, Joe Gans (qv) winning by default. Gans scored  two knockdowns and had his opponent out on his feet on two other  occasions when the granite chinned Nelson was saved by the bell.  Nelson absorbed a frightful beating, his left eye was closed and he  was bleeding from his ears, mouth, and nose, as well as cuts on his  face. Frankie Neil, a former bantamweight champion and a ringside  eyewitness, said, "It looks as though Nelson, who was a very badly  beaten man, took an easy way to quit", Chronicle Sep 4, 1906.
