Mike Gibbons

Mike Gibbons (July 20, 1887 in St. Paul, Minnesota – August 31, 1956) was an American boxer from 1908 to 1922. The brother of heavyweight Tommy Gibbons, Mike claimed Middleweight Champion of the World status in 1909 following Stanley Ketchel's murder. Although he never won the title, Gibbons is regarded as one of the all-time best welter and middleweight boxers by historians. Statistical boxing website BoxRec lists Gibbons as the #18 ranked middleweight of all time, while The Ring Magazine founder Nat Fleischer placed him at #9. The International Boxing Research Organization rates Gibbons as the 17th best middleweight ever and boxing historian Bert Sugar placed him 92nd in his Top 100 Fighters catalogue. Gibbons retired due to deteriorating vision. Following his boxing career he entered business in his native St. Paul, and became a member of the Minnesota Athletic Commission. Gibbons was elected to the Ring Magazine Hall of Fame in 1958, the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1992, the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 1997, and the Minnesota Boxing Hall of Fame in 2010.

Kenyon alum Mike Gibbons leads United States Senate race in Ohio

At the beginning of spring break, I had the opportunity to speak with Mike Gibbons ’74, leading Republican candidate for an Ohio seat in the United States Senate. Gibbons started out in the Senate race with virtually no name recognition in a crowded field of well-known Republicans like Jane Timken, former chair of the Ohio Republican Party, J.D. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy, and Josh Mandel, former treasurer of Ohio and the previous Republican frontrunner in the polls. Despite his firm competition, Gibbons shot up in the polls and is now ahead of Mandel by a little over one percentage point, according to Real Clear Politics (20% Gibbons, 18.7% Mandel). Part of Gibbons’ success in the polls can be attributed to his attack ads smearing his Republican opponents. In these ads, he frequently uses football analogies and calls himself “Trump Tough” and his Republican opponents “RINOs” (Republican in Name Only). Gibbons has also received the endorsement of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, as well as a few other Ohio state legislators.
