Much has been made about what the reporters at ringside thought or about how the crowd reacted. I think neither matters. If there is a bank...
Well, not addressed to me, but this is what the referee is quoted as saying: "Before the solar plexus blow was delivered and after the right...
Perry "Dempsey's heart won the battle and Sharkey's lack of heart lost it." This I agree with.
"all the accounts of the fight say Sharkey slipped at the bell ending round three." That is exactly what the film shows. Sharkey is stepping back...
