Different rule set let the match progress in a different way. But probably, yeah.holy cow. that's a lot of fighting.
i have to wonder if a match like that didn't look sort of like the boxing equivalent of of pre-time limit judo & wrestling matches: lots of stalking, feeling out, respect for the opponent's abilities, etc.
Their conditioning really wasn't that bad, to be honest. They understood what sorts of exercises built stamina and which built muscles. Fitzsimmons and Ewards training included a lot of road work and exhortations against smoking. We know more today and can better optimize but they weren't as bad as a lot of people think. However, there were some notable recommendations that, today, we'd balk at as being less effective or, sometimes, even dangerous.it's just hard to imagine 260min of solid fighting, especially with the conditioning & nutrition knowledge of over 200yrs ago.
