		Jem at that time was drawing custom to his hotel by combining the peaceful pursuit of playing the violin to his customers, and teaching boxing.
		MEMORIES OF JEM MACE 33 It was in the Old England Hotel that the miners of Bendigo and Ballarat, real hard-swearing, hard-drinking, hard-living old-timers from the gold diggings, presented Jem with his famous gold brick.
		Jem's fist shot out like a flash, the man attempted to guard, but he was too slow, the blow landed, and he literally sailed through the air for a foot or two, landing on the bunch of fellows who had crowded round, bringing eight of them to the ground with him.

		After reading about Jem Mace on your website it prompted me to ask if anyone has heard of a bare knuckle fighter called Henry Bond who it is said was the champion of Norfolk - he was born 1854 in Downham Market but this was not his real name just the name he fought under.
		Jem spent a great deal of time in their company, and his association with this clan and the itinerant lifestyle which arose from touring with his boxing booth gave rise to the notion that he was of gypsy blood.
		Jem Mace (without a moustache) is featured displaying his trophies and there are reports of his fights with Tom King, Bob Brettle, Sam Hurst, Joe Goss and Bill Thorpe.

		I believe it was thanks to Bartley Gorman/King of the Gypsies that it was decided that there should be a permanent memorial to Jem, regarded by the experts as the 'father of modern boxing' because he confused slowerwitted opponents with his dancing, fast fists and masterful defensive tactics.
		The man Jem beat to become World Champion was Tom Allen and on his site, if you go to 1870 you will see the fight recorded; in fact in the town in America where the fight took place, there still stands a life size bronze statue of Mace and Allen to commemorate the event.
		So Jem was Middleweight Championship of England as well as World Champion; he is recorded as winning the English title by beating Joe Goss in 1883.

		One good thing about this system is that the aging effects reduce down the fighters overall rating so at the moment Mace for example is only a 2 overall rating.

		Bob Fitzsimmons, though not a New Zealander by birth, brought fame to his adopted country by winning the world’s heavyweight championship at an age when most modern champions would be living in moneyed retirement.
		His rise was the outcome of a period spent in New Zealand by Jem Mace, last of the great English bare-knuckle fighters, who in the eighties promoted tournaments throughout the country.
		Fitzsimmons won the Dunedin tournament, and thus his ambitions were fired.
