It is pretty convincing to me that Dempsey was hit hard and actually knocked out. That explains a great deal, including Dempsey giving such...
Yes, but her conclusion would not be good evidence. The strongest evidence by far is Auerbach. Derks describes a KO and then says he later...
"it might be difficult to conceal the fact that you had inexplicably come into a large sum of money" Why would $500 be considered an...
Oh, she stopped trusting me about half a century ago. She is a smart woman. And if I somehow decided to engage in criminal activities, I...
I am not certain about your point. "There's nothing wholly convincing" I agree. I would say there is nothing particularly convincing at all....

There is one historical issue I would raise. The reason for a paper like the Chicago Tribune pushing a "fix" story need have nothing to do...
"Flynn was 1-5-1 in his last seven fights." w/o looking it up on boxrec, weren't these fights against top men of the time, world champions...
"who held the career home run until Babe Ruth" I assume record? No reason to dump on the never-to-be-forgotten Roger Connor. **just having a...
