The Four Pillars of Pugilism: Mendoza and Jackson
My Patreon boys,
Thank you for your continued support! This month's history episode is the second part of my Four Pillars of Pugilism. In episode one we examined James Figg and James Broughton and their affects on the fighting world. In this episode we skip ahead a few decades to a young Jew named Dan and a builder's son named John, both of whom fought their way into the courts of kings.
I would love to hear anything you guys have to say about this episode, the series is meant to thank you guys after all, and will consider any topic you would like to see covered. I cannot thank you enough for your continuing support, the Fights Gone By Podcast could not exist without you!
Cheers,
Jack

Hey Jack, can we get a reupload of these boxing lectures. They are so good - your boy
Please re up this video Slacky!
Thank you for the pleasant history lesson. I think a history of fighting techniques and how they evolved and their uses in certain combats sports would appeal to many. And a look at experimental sparring. Much appreciated. Dale.
These were outstanding. More of anything
Another great episode, loving all this fight history. I'm hoping that you'll have a go at the history of Wing Chun one of these months.
I'd personally love to hear an episode on Sam Langford at some point
Seconded, that would be brilliant!
Was really excited to see this was up yesterday, another great listen.
These are always a treat Jack. I would say to continue with the history of boxing , you make it very interesting.
Small typo: their affects on the fighting world.
amazing episode!
