Andy Bowen (May 3, 1867 – December 15, 1894) was an American boxer from New Orleans. He died at age 27, as the result of injuries suffered in a bout against Kid Lavigne. Andy Bowen was undefeated going 13-0-2 in his first 15 fights. On April 6. 1893 Andy Bowen and Jack Burke were involved in the longest fight in history. The fight lasted 111 rounds (consisting of 3 min rounds each), it took 7 hours and 19 minutes until referee John Duffy called "no contest" after both men were too dazed and tired to come out of their corners. Jack Burke broke all the bones in both of his hands and considered retiring after the fight but chose to continue competing. Andy Bowen fought a few fights afterward. The injury that killed Andy came from when "Kid" Lavigne knocked Bowen down and he hit his head on the wooden canvas. He died the next morning having never woken up. At first Lavigne was arrested for the death of Bowen but was found to be innocent of any wrongdoing. ==External links== * http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Human:64402 * http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=64402&cat=boxer * http://cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/bowen-andy.htm * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andy Bowen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
