'''PRIDE 19: Bad Blood''' was a [[mixed martial arts]] event held by the [[PRIDE|PRIDE Fighting Championships]]. It took place at the [[Saitama Super Arena]] in [[Saitama, Saitama|Saitama]], [[Japan]] on [[February 24]], [[2002]].

He was born in the multiethnic, working-class district of [[Brier Hill]], on Youngstown's North Side.<ref>''The Youngstown Daily Vindicator'', Oct. 22, 1934</ref> The Farraghers were well established at St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church,<ref>''The Youngstown Daily Vindicator'', Oct. 22, 1934</ref> and at least two members of the family gained prominence as athletes. Mike Farragher's brother, [[James Farragher]], went on to become a standout on the [[University of Notre Dame]]'s football team. He is often credited in official histories as a head coach of the Notre Dame "Fighting Irish".<ref>Sperner, Murray, ''Shake Down the Thunder: The Creation of Notre Dame Football'' (New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1993), p. 29.</ref>

Farragher "weighed in" at between 122 and 135 pounds and participated in almost 40 fights, with five "knock-outs" to his credit. In a career that spanned from [[1891]] to [[1912]], he defeated early champions such as Jim Gallagher, Jeff Powers, Tommy Broderick, Jimmy Reeder, and Stanton Abbott.<ref>http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/MikeFarragher.htm</ref> In 1894, however, he found himself unable to fight in his hometown, where "local ministers took a united stand against the sport" and "the Catholic Institute barred all persons who had taken part in prize fights".<ref>The Youngstown daily vindicator</ref>One published obituary indicates that Farragher's career peaked between [[1902]] and [[1906]].<ref>''The Youngstown Telegram'', Oct. 22, 1934</ref> He retired after defeating opponent Phil Cassidy in a fight held in Youngstown, on Feb. 12, 1912.<ref>http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/MikeFarragher.htm</ref>
