[edit] facts of his career
While Mace beat Tom Allen in 1870 when Mace was already nearly 40, he essentially retired after that. His only significant fight after was with Joe Coburn in 1871 which ended in a draw. He fought exhibitions and pseudo-fights against older boxers like Bill Davis in 1876, but his true career as any sort of champion ended with the Allen fight.
Tom Allen continued to claim the championship due to Mace's inactivity and/or retirement. 66.226.193.82 22:03, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
