I wrote the article a long time ago, since then have discovered a lot more info which makes me tend to aggree with Mike. Only recently, I made the comment that in a rough house, i.e. real fight, I would sooner had Gotch in my corner than Hack, So yes Mike, with newever info and hindsight, I agree with you and believe that Gotch did win. I also had a conversation with Grimek on similar lines re Hacks embarrassment. Anyway the record stands. Gotch DID win.
