Oddest fight record I've seen yet

[lklawson]

I'm slowly transcribing the "Chronology" section of Owen Swift's "Hand-book to Boxing" (for my republishing hobby) and I've come across a number of very interesting entries. This is, by far, the most interesting so far (bearing in mind that I still have a good number of pages yet to go).

1801 Aug. 11. Sancho Panza beat Don Quixote (both barbers). Near Bath.

Peace favor your sword,

Sancho probably got tired of Don charging windmills and challenged him.
Very interesting indeed.
Thanks for sharing.
