Dave Palitz (January 1, 1891 – November 17, 1940) was a Welterweight boxer who competed for the Connecticut Welterweight Championship against Lou Bogash on April 26, 1920 at Casino Hall in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Though he lost the 12 round bout, Palitz was an exceptional boxer in his own right. He fought Jeff Doherty, Bunny Ford, Terry Mitchell, and Jack Britton. Doherty and Ford were regional lightweight champions while Mitchell was a boxer of such caliber that he once defeated 1906 World Welterweight Champion William "Honey" Melody. Britton held the World Welterweight championship for over four years during Palitz's career.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=26169&cat=boxer )〕 ==Boxing career== Palitz began his more competitive boxing career by early 1911 fighting Young Ferguson twice in New London, defeating him in a fourth round knockout in their first meeting in New London in January 1911. Bunny Ford, who Palitz defeated three times in ten round matches between 1913-14 in Connecticut, was a noted regional lightweight. Ford competed for the New England Lightweight Title in 1909 against Jack Doherty, and officially for the Connecticut State Lightweight Title against Battling Kunz on November 27, 1916, losing in an eight round TKO in New Haven.〔 In March 1915, Palitz received a rare knockout from Dave Powers of Malden, Massachusetts. This defeat did not affect the long term boxing aspirations of Palitz, who may have learned from it, as he faced far more skilled opponents in the coming years.〔"Palitz takes the Count", ''The Day'', pg. 14, New London, CT., 11 March 1915.〕 On September 6, 1915, Palitz fought Abe Hollandersky in Aborn Hall in New London, in a dominating twenty round victory. New London's ''The Day'' gave only one round to Hollandersky in their newspaper decision.〔"Palitz Punishes Newsboy Harshly", ''The Day'', pg. 12, New London, CT., 7 September 1915.〕 Palitz fought New London welterweight Hollandersky four times in paid bouts, and several more times in exhibitions. In 1916 Palitz worked for a period at the Marlin Fire Arms Company in New London along with frequent opponent and lightweight champion Bunny Ford.〔"Dave Palitz Goes to Work for a Living", ''The Day'', pg. 12, New London, CT., 7 October 1916.〕 Easily one of the greatest fighters Palitz met was welterweight champion Jack Britton to whom he lost on March 8, 1920 in a ten round newspaper decision in Hartford, Connecticut. Britton held the World Welterweight title three times in 1915, 1916, and from 1919-1922 and held it at the time of his bout with Palitz. Palitz's bout with Britton came as a warm up for his attempt at the Connecticut State Welterweight title. One of Palitz's most publicized fights was his losing bout with World Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Lou Bogash for the Connecticut Welterweight State Title in April 1920. It is worth noting that Bogash was at the top of his career during the bout, at a youthful 19 years of age, while Palitz was nearly 30, old for a boxer, and nearing the end of his more competitive career.〔 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「Dave Palitz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
