Bob Moha
Bob Moha was a Milwaukee-based middleweight boxer, nicknamed the "Milwaukee Caveman".Career
His decisive defeat of Billy Papke at a bout in Boston on October 31, 1910, caused Papke to retire briefly from the ring.
On December 4, 1914, in a fight against Mike Gibbons of St. Paul, Minnesota held in Hudson, Wisconsin, Moha was disqualified in the second round for a blow below the belt. The sponsoring club denied him a share of the purse, since the fight did not go to a decision, and Moha sued them. The case eventually went to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which, in a 1916 ruling, agreed with the original jury that he had failed to fulfill his contractual obligation. Moha was not permitted to introduce testimony that it was customary in such cases for the fouling fighter to receive his contractual share.
