Oscar Gardner (1872 1928) was a famous American fighter and boxer known as "the Omaha Kid". He was known for his solid blows and it was noted that Gardner killed a man in the ring. "The Omaha Kid" was a top contender for the Featherweight Championship of the World and the Featherweight Champion of America. Oscar Gardner was born on May 19, 1872 at Minneapolis, Minnesota. He began boxing when he was around 20 years of age. Gardner stood almost five feet, four inches tall and weighed anywhere from 115 to 124 pounds during his career. Gardner was described as "confident, tough and game". Gardner won most of his fights by knockout, which was unique for a featherweight. He won several fights in 1898 and that year he fought George Stout on April 7, 1898 at Columbus, Ohio. Gardner had fought a 15 - round draw with Stout the previous year in 1897 in Cincinnati. After 12 rounds of fighting, Stout died from his injuries. Reports stated that when Gardner hit Stout it sounded like a "pistol shot".
