Simply put, it kept the Sport moving forward into the modern age. Either this bout or the one before it was when gloves came into use. Prior, all matches were fought with bare knuckles. John L. Sullivan bridged the gap between the bare knuckle and gloved eras. James J. Corbet was the first boxer to box all his championship matches with gloves on. Will like to see some era experts come onto here with more info.
