I know the 'From Russia with Love' fight is well-liked by a lot of people here so i thought id share this newspaper article i found.

This is an extract from a real newspaper dated 1892 (see the source at the top of the image) describing what is (presumably) a real fight account that is similar, I think, to the catfight depicted in the Bond movie.

I have about 100 newspaper articles including this one i have found when trying to find references to female prize-fighting or general street-style fights - mostly in the 1800s. Some articles are long with blow by blow accounts, some are short - like as in, just a few lines of text...and some are incredibly brutal (likely way too shocking for most people reading this). I may share some more if this is well received.

Anyway, here is the link: http://imgur.com/a/g6mw4

Wow I live in mass and will be passing close to Holyoke this weekend. Maybe my wife and I will go looking for some Gypsies!

Fascinating! Loved the style of writing then, like the younger woman having "coquettish ways" and dressing in a "picturesque fashion." Sounds so much better than modern expressions, like 'she's hot'.
