context_page_description: Featherweight Joe Bernstein was one of the first great boxers to emerge from New York's Lower East Side. He fought for the featherweight championship three times, but lost all three bouts, often in close matches. Nicknamed "The Pride of the Ghetto" in the 1890s, his championship fights endeared him to newly arriving Jewish immigrants.
context_section_description: The 23-year-old Bernstein had another shot at the title after defeating former champ Solly Smith twice in New York, once by knockout.  This time, on November 2, 1900, he battled the legendary Featherweight ChampionTerry McGovern. In his second attempt at the title, Bernstein was knocked out in the seventh round in Louisville, Kentucky 
  Bernstein fought the exceptional boxer Benny Yanger, one of the few featherweights to ever beat Featherweight champion Abe Attell. Bernstein lost to Yanger on December 18, 1901 in six rounds in Chicago. He lost to Yanger again in six rounds in Chicago on February 10, 1902.  Two months later, Yanger beat Attell on April 24, 1902 in a very rough nineteenth-round TKO in St Louis but was never given the title, though the bout was advertised as a Featherweight championship by some sources.
