Jack Dempsey 194½ lbs beat Jack Sharkey 196 lbs by KO at 0:45 in round 7 of 15
This was a heavyweight tournament elimination bout, with the winner to meet current World Champion Gene Tunney for a shot at his title.
"Sharkey took the count of ten after going down from a vicious right hand wallop to the jaw. The Boston sailor had claimed a foul blow to the mid-section just before the climax, but the referee, Jack O'Sullivan, refused to allow it and counted him out. Dempsey's knockout victory, which sent the crowd into a delirious outburst, followed a slashing, slugging battle from start to finish. The former champion, staggered in the first round and groggy, came back to force the fighting and finally dropped his young rival." (Associated Press)
