And Griffith took the chance. And then they immediately went into a clinch. The referee, Dave Barry arch them from the clinch. Both boys was very serious. Dempsey leads again with his lips and the mistress then comes in close and drives his left to the body and then two left to the back of Connie's head. Connie has yet not shot a blow. Dempsey is delivered the oppressor so far. Dempsey pushes a light length to the body and Honey counters with a lawn left to the face. As they are in a pinch. The referee comes to Cleveland and parts them. Both boys look very serious. They're dancing around the ring, feeling each other out. Now for just a moment, still the same sunny in the center, Dempsey going around him. No blow has been struck. Dempsey comes in and is met with a lift to the side of the face. It was only a glancing blow, it did no damage there. Again boxing conservatively. Dempsey's left goes to Gene's body and then Gene comes through with a one piece left and right with Dempsey's jaw. Now they're boxing quietly again, feeling one of another. And out. Dempsey turns with his left, nothing stirring yet. Gene faints with his left, follows up with a right faint but doesn't come through. Gene leads with his left. They go into a clinch. Very few blows have been stuck. Both boys are being very very careful. As Jack comes in with his head bent. She meets him with a downward sliding left hand. It lands on Jack's ear. Then they go into a clinch, but immediately park. They're again very quiet. Jack footing less of the body. The team was going away. Jean's left goes for J's body. Dempsey does not return. Now they ride over. Gene drives Jack to the rope and as I go into a clinch, lands a right to the face. No damage done by either boy so far. Gene is following Jack. That is unusual. Gene again tries the one two but misses with his left and slides off the side of Jack's head with the right. Jack does not attempt to return the blow. Jeez. Again drives the 1 2, misses with his left and the right goes on to Jack. Base. We will follow the round. Just a little party between two boys. Feeling himself out before the fight begins, Jack drives his left to the chest. Now Jack is following Tack shoots his left again, is a little bit short. Johnny hasn't shot a blow there, ties the one two again gets his right in. Jack is close in on Tunny and drives two right to the body. Jack pushes left to the body and Gene's left goes to the face at the same time. Jack has now begun his wheezing, dodging tactics. And James Honey puts a hard right over on Jack's jaw, which was partially guarded. They came into a clinch, they're out of it again and now they're boxing in the center of the ring, just looking one another over. Honey drives his right and left again, misses his bolt and then puts a hard right to the jaw. Dempsey puts three hard left to Jean's body and they're on the rope. With Dempsey's back to the rope when the referee sparks him. Dempsey is now following Gene. Gene again tries to 12 and as he has done, constantly liftes with the left and connects with the right to the side of Jack's head, which is guarded partially by the shoulder. Gene is carrying his side low, Jack is carrying his higher than usual. Gene puts two right to the side of Jack's face, and as they're together, Jack drives a short left to the body. Gene is stabbing Jack off, but is more of an aggressor than usual. Gene put a short left and a hard right to Jack. Jaw not on the buttons by any means, but they're not so good. Jack comes through with a left to the face, and now Jack is again wandering around Gene. Gene is in the center of the ring most of the time with Dempsey walking around him. Dempsey drives a hard left under the heart, and as he does so, they go into a clinch. And as they come out of it, James lift gets Dempsey in the jaw, but not doing much damage. Dempsey weaves in. Gene takes a face at him with his right, but lifted. And now they're in the center of the ring and are pummeling each other's bodies for the moment. And then Gene puts over three good rights as he gets away from a clinch and they go into another clinch. Those rights were short. Dempsey is still following Kane's. Now there's nothing doing for the moment. Jack stabs for the midsection and misses. And Kane comes back with a right to the side of Jack's head, which is high, is breathing harder than honey. There's the bell. They're out for the third round. Again in the center of the ring, Jane does not move about as much as Jack. As Jack comes in, he's met with a hard right to the side of the head. Then he wrestles Jane over to the rope. And Sonny was holding Jim King trying to get away and finally does from under Jack, from under Keane's arm. Now they're working in the center of the ring. They are not shooting nearly as many blows as they did last year in Philadelphia. Keane seems to be taking it easier. Keane again attempted his one two but was short with both hands. And then Dempsey goes a hard left to chain midsection. Another and chain swung with two rights over Jack's head. And then as they are in a half clinch, Jack bounded the back of Sonny's head with four right. They're clinching now. And now the referee has them parted. Sonny tries his one two and misses with both hands and then comes in with a second right. And now they're clenching on the rope. And Dempsey drove or two left to the back of Tommy's head as they were in a half clinch. Gene leads with his left, gets changed, gets Jack once, but Jack comes in and drives left and right twice to the midsection. And I think that both didn't feel strong.

Now they're sparring for the moment. Jack weaving, bobbing up and down, Jane drives his right to Jack's head and Dempsey in a half clinch comes back with three short rights to Kane's body and Demps team puts a terrific the heart of blow of the fight over on the side of Dempsey's head. But Dempsey retaliated with two left to the body and a left to the right and they're pounding each other as they fence. The referee charts them. They're in the center of the ring again. Dempsey leads for the body with his left and misses. These are not the Dempsey jabs but straight laws left. Dempsey put a hard left and right to the body and caught two hard lefts for the safe in return. The last one didn't do Dempsey any good, but Dempsey brings his left up right to the center of Tunny's body which he is driving at constantly and now they're sparring boxing for the moment. Gene Wright found the side of Jack's head, then they went into a clinch, the referee parted them coming between them and now J is following Sonny and as they go into a fence and the bell rings, Sonny's lip goes to Jack's body and Jack right and left finds Sonny's body and I rather think that we should give the round to them. Jack shoots his left to the body but is a little short. Gene is backing away. Team shot a right and a left to Jack's head and hard team shots another shoot, another right to Jack's face and another. Oh a hard left. King shot a terrific length to Jack's face. Jim seems to be beginning to box. King shoots another hard left in the face. Jack shoots three hard lefts and one right to the body as they go into a clinch and King's right and left finds Dempsey's face again. Now that Barnes King is seemingly beginning to wake up. He drives a left and a right to Dempsey, drives Dempsey over into the corner and they're fighting like a couple of wild animals over there. Dempsey has his head on King's shoulder, but as a general thing, Jane is to some Extent. Taking the blows away. Dempsey lands a hard left to the body and Jeane comes back with a hard right. And as as Dempsey ducks, James comes in and they begin to clinch. Jean forcing Dempsey back to the ropes. They come out again in the center of the ring. The referee spots them. And now Dempsey is weaving again. Drives his left to Gene's body, which is somewhat red. Another left to Jean's body and Gene drives a hard right and left to Jack head. Another hard right and Dempsey puts in some wearying body punishment with Ms. Rice body before they go into a clinch. They're back to the ropes. The referee parks them. They're out of the center of the ring again. Gene very quiet. Dempsey wheezing. Gene caught Dempsey with a hard right and another hard left. In theory for those, Gene put a simple left over to Jack Shaw and then sunk his left gloves into Dempsey's midsection. And now he has Dempsey against the rope. And they're fighted again. They're out in the center of the ring. James hits density another, the harder shot of the fight. A terrific left to the face. Gene put left to right, left to the face. And now as they turn into a flinch, Gene again sink that left of the body. Now they're firing a moment. They're right over our heads now. It's difficult to stand, but drives his left in to the body and swirls with his right, but misses. Jean puts a terrific right over to Dempsey's body and Dempsey hits Rocky. Unquestionably. Dempsey is in bad shape and is going down in a neutral corner. No, he's not down. But he knew he's not down. But he took three hard left to the fake ends, bounded around on the rope. Finally he came out as only Dempsey can. Johnny sails in again with right and left to the jaw. Has the round and the boys didn't hear the round and they're still fighting three seconds after the barrel. Here we go. The 10 second whistle is on the bell with a welcome sound of Jack Dempsey that round. They're out in the center again. Tunney puts a left to the side of Dempsey head. Johnny is now following. Jack drives a right through his head and Dempsey drives a good hard left to the body. Dempsey comes in with two short right to the body. Oh, Johnny, what a hard left to Dempsey face and Dempsey came in gnarly, drove a left and a right to T's body. Tunny right hand goes over on the side of Jack's head and hit his. Jack's head, hits his own shoulder. They faint for the moment the referee comes between them. And tny is following Jack to the rope. He's feeling your mouth with his lips. Swung his right and missed. And then put his left to Jack's face. A short clinch and they're out in the center again. Honey jab Jack's body just above the chest, almost to the neck. Honey jab another left to the face. And rushed empty to the ropes. Both boys are fighting. Sonny again drives his left to Jack's face and for the moment seems to be out dempseying Dempsey. They're in the center of the ring and sh's left finds Dempsey three times as Dempsey attempts to weave in. Sh left again comes over to Jack's face, followed by the right. The old one too. Jack leaps in with a hard left to the side of Sonny's face. And Sonny thing almost wobbled for a moment. I'm not sure they went into a clinch. T at least knew he got hit that time. And now Sonny as is backing away for the moment up there. He leaped in with his short left hook to Dempsey's jaw. And then a left and a right. While Dempsey shoots a left and a right to the body. Jean's left and right come slamming into Jack's jaw again. And then Jack retaliates with a knife left hook to the side of Jean's face. Jean gets Dempsey and short left. Now they're boxing. Dempsey retaliates with a short left to Jean's face. And as Dempsey comes in, he catches two left to the body. Johnny said something to the referee. I don't know what it was. They're weaving about one another. Gene's guard is right on his stomach. Jean comes through with a lift and a right just as the bell rang. And Jack for an instant held on for dear life. A crime, but it seemed shorter than fighters, I should imagine. There's the bell. The party's on. There's the bell again in the middle of the ring, working around one another for the moment. They've been giving Dempsey smelling salts in this corner, but Connie hasn't taken any relief. Whatever. Nana Flow has been stuck so far. Tunny drives a hard left and a right to dempting space. And Dempsey drive the heart right to the body. And now they're just fling blows in the middle of the ring about evenly for the moment. Now they're in the center of the ring again, firing for the second. Dempsey is following Tunney. T swings their right and misses. Dempsey connects on the face of the short right and left. And Tunny lands his Left on the side of Jack's head. Jack follows Johnny and lands too short left to the body. Then Johnny comes in and while they're in the clinch, Dempsey shoot or pound the back of Tunny cat for the moment. They spar again and T gets over two hard left to Jack's head. As they're in a trench. Jack left finds Conny's midsection which has now become very red. Dempsey's skin still retains that same brown. Gunny put over a long right hook, but too high up to have any great effect. Barring again, Tawny's left finds Jack's body, but not Neville. Jack shot a left to the jaw that snaps Connie's head back. But they fight in the middle of the ring or even terms. Jack concluding the tussle with a short left hook to the side of the jaw. Jack have begun bobbing and weaving again and as he does so, Gene gets him with a right and a left too high up on the face. Gene is now following Jack empty through his right to cunning Shaw and inverts. Now they're quiet again for the moment as Sonny drives a left to the shore and then follows with a right foot. Misses a haymaker, but it didn't quite land. Then he does land with another short left. And as Dempsey comes in, Kane gets him and gets him fired in the jaw. Now Gene backs away, Dempsey goes after him and they're sucking each other short Smashers. Jensey put over a good right and left but. But right after he got a good right and left to the face in return. And as they're in a half pitch, they're trying to find a vital spot as the referee takes tears them apart as they come out of a half winch. And just as the bell rings, gentlemen, the 10 second whistle has jump close. Dave Barron is looking the two boys over as he stands quietly on the other side of the race. They're coming together. This is the seventh round. They're up. Neither boy is such or marked as yet. They both look as if they mean business and plenty, but they don't seem to get each other quite vitally. Dempsey came into Tunney, both of them shot both hands. Nobody did any damage as they came out. Tunney's right caught Dempsey lightly on the face. Then Dunce Tunney shot a hard left to Dempsey's face, which he follows up with two means left. And as the left is in Dempsey's face, he lands a right and Dempsey comes back and Bunny is down from the garage out left and right to the face. Throw is going on Kenny down. Dempsey is on the other side. 8, 8, 9. And Tunny is up. And now we're at it again. Tunny. Tony is backing away and Dempsey is following Tony. Dempsey tries a long left but doesn't land. He's following Tunny all around the range. Then Tunny lands a left right and the left. And Dempsey keeps on following, but can't quite get him. Tunny is now out. Boston Jean a little bit. It seems that the chance has gone. Shane is still backing away. Oh, that left hook. And the right themselves. Sonny climbs his left and he flies to Jack's face. He seems to be in pretty good condition again, but Jack is still following him. Jack has his shot of blow dash Honey's left slides over onto Jack's face and then he drives it. But then Jack comes in with a hard left and a hard right. Tony's body. Then Sonny stops and shoots his right over to Jack's face. But Dempsey doesn't stop. He goes on, on and on after Johnny. Johnny's m dry escape is right and left and Jack isn't even trying to protect himself. He's trying to get in where he can hit. Cunning's right seems very light and so did his left. Neither one bothering this Manasseh Mauler. Dempsey is still following Tunny, motioning t to come in and fight. But Dempsey is standing in the middle of the ring in his cell. This one leaves. He's on Sonny and he falls his right and left. Sonny's face and head three times and Sonny's face looks bad. As Dempsey weaves in, Sonny drives the giant the one tool ends. But does it land then as Dempsey comes in, Connie does land with his right to Dempsey fish. And Dempsey laughs at C and motions for him to come on and fight instead of backing away. Then. Then suddenly Jane did leap in to the right and a lasting ground. K's look of confidence is somewhat dispelled now and empty is again following him around the Sonny puts his right and his left to Dempsey head and Dempsey retaliates with a hired left to the stomach and as they part, shoots an uppercut to Gene's body just under the heart. But Gene was going away at the time. Dempsey is now the aggressor. Dempsey shoots his left hard to Sonny's jaw. And as they're in together in the middle of the ring, Stoney forces Dempsey over to us, right above us, right above our heads here. But no damage is done to the moment. Dempsey swings their side mass hooks that just misses Sonny's jaw and then pound Tunny's kidney plank. Jean is still working on the one twos, but missing a good eel. Gene drove his left to Jack's head, but too high. Gene tried a haymaker with his right butt, slid over the top of Dempsey's head and they're in a clinch. And now the referee fighting them as they're in the center of the ring. Jane again tries to left and right the one toe, but again misses as Jack comes in. He pounds the back of Jack's head. Now Dempsey's eye is cut, just a hit. Dempsey lands a terrific left, followed by a hard right to Tunny. Stretch sure. And then Dempsey comes in like a wagon man, driving left to right. And Sonny has all he can do to guard and tries to keep on his first. Again Sonny looked as if he might go down, but they're out in the middle of the ring and he didn't. But so far this is again Dempsey's round. Dempsey is down from a marriage left to the jaw. He's up. He didn't wait for a count, he only went down to his knees. Now he's up again and they're again larsing. Sonny is now developing into the aggressor as he drives a hard left. 2. Dempsey safe and then a right and a left as they are over in Gene's corner. Almost on the rope. And now again, Jack looks as though he didn't particularly like the going for the moment. Gene comes through with a hard left and a hard right and another left with Jack's face. And then there's a 1, 2 that time. It's connected. One kill to the face. Jack has not landed a blow. Now in the last 15 seconds, Jack's eyes seem to be touched just above the eye just a little bit. Nothing to amount to a great deal. Jack just started a right when the bell rang. Ending coming up for the 9th. Coming up for the night. The 10 second whistle is blown. In just a couple of seconds, the bell. Here they are. They're in the center of the ring again. Jack goes after him, swings the left, but it's guarded by Tunny. No blow has been struck. Jack drives a short left to the body, comes in, drives a right, short uppercut to the head. And then as they clinch, pounds the back of Tony's head. They're out of it now. Jim Keith is following Sonny about the ring. Johnny ties his world one too. But Dempsey has learned a pretty good gut for it and is getting away, following the 1 2. They went into a clinch, which immediately from which they parted. And now Jean Switzerland uses the same one too. The left, then the right again. Lands this time, but doesn't seem to bother the Manassa Mauler very much. Dempsey forgot his weave for three or four rounds, but now he's beginning again, waving, ducking. Sonny's laughs. Goes into Jack's face, but lightly. Jack swings the haymaker right guts misses Sonny's jaw. And as they go into a fence, they pound each other's midsection with no advantage, apparently for the moment. Gene is following Jack. Now put the hard lift over it. But Jack gets inside of the right foot there. The left and right. The 1, 2 landed on Jack and hurt. An empty arch, Gunny. Go another right to the side of the head. Then the left jab. Gets that bad eye of Jack and he's getting smeared up considerably as to color. Jack's eye looks fast again the left and then the right. Jack almost went down on his. Came up and held him. Machine comes up with the one two again and lands. Jack's head is down low on his chest to keep from catching it right on the jaw. And they go into a clink. Both of eyes. Both of Jack's eyes are in very, very bad shape now. Now they're sparring for a moment. Jack is an elk. Tony puts a hard left over, then a hard right to Jack's bad eye. And then another hard right and a hard left. While they are playing, a partial flinch. And as they come out of it, a 10 let left and right go over. Jack didn't land a blow there. This is Tunny's round so far, unquestionably. And it begins to look as if the superior condition. There goes the right. The right landed on Dempsey's jaw again. And then the left and then the right. And Dempsey has not landed a blow at this time. Dempsey dives in with his desperation and drives hard right and left to Gene's face. But Jean or Gene's midsection. But Gene comes back with a hard right to the face. And Dempsey's eyes are getting worse. Again the one two, the Jack's face and the bear for the last round. Ladies and gentlemen, in case some of you don't know what's going on, this is a boxing contest of 10 rounds between Jack Dempsey, former champion, and Gene Tunney, the champion. They shake hands and Dempsey comes in and Tunney is down from a hard left and half a push. Now Tony looks mad, Sonny went down and they're together, Bonnie to Bonnie, blow to blow, fist for fix, one after the other. Now they're in the center of the ring. They stop for the moment. And Tunny's right and left goes over to Dempsey's face. And then Dempsey shot a hard right to the side of Tunny's face that made Tunny hold on for the moment. Then Dempsey's right and left both come up as they're fighting close together. And Gene is protecting himself for the moment more than fighting. Johnny healthy for the moment, dead. The fight is quiet for a second. She insides his left, slides off the side of Jack's face. No damage. Dempsey comes in again with his wheezing tactics. Johnny catches Dempsey on the face with two left and another and a right. Dempsey dip cunning twice in the body and then they both hold. They're in a clinch now, coming towards the end, very close and trying to measure each other. He puts a left and a right and another right to the side of Jack's face. Firing again. Jack is fairly well cut up, but they're both fighting hard. Jack puts two hard left hooks to the side of Sonny's face. And Sonny drives a left, short left jab to the body again. Sonny's left flicks out and catches Dempsey on the bad eye. And then the light comes over and drives hard on Dempsey's bad eye. And it's a very, very bad eye. Team tries a whole barrage of lights and left and landed one a piece. Then he comes in with a left uppercut, straightens Jack up and then lands his right and they go into a clinch. Jack's fighting now very low because he has no other way to keep a right of to keep away from that devastating left flinch. And then the right cross ascend the left and the right come over from Tunny. And Jimy retaliates with a hard left hip. And then infighting. Tunny has a little the better of the argument and drives through short left to Jack's face. And Dempsey is very, very tired. I don't mean on the verge of a knockout, but very tired. And now a right staggers Dempsey and another right and a left and a right and a left and a right. And Dempsey is almost down and the fight is over. It's all out. And Dempsey is practically out on his feet. And I think there is no question now who is the champion.
