[Edit] Just found out Primus got some details very wrong, he said the bout was between 'Lilly and McCoy' when it was actually between Andy Bowen and Jack Burke.

I guess this is about a different fight that, while longer in rounds, was shorter in time (2 min rounds?), and ended when someone died. I thought they just got the detail wrong because Bowen also died in the ring, but in a different fight. But yeah....you wouldn't want to be a boxer back then.
