This has been thoroughly hashed over in the thread entitled "What Happened to Dempsey in Flynn 1? https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/what-happened-to-dempsey-in-flynn-1.624453/
Yeah but that was a year ago now. People's opinions might have changed on the matter, who knows. I've just been reading about it tonight.
"Just put it down i didnt exactly knock dempsey out. He just forgot to duck." ... Jim Flynn Dont forget they had a legit fight a bit later and dempsey won in the first
Jack Dempsey of Salt Lake lasted about twenty-five seconds in his match with Jim Flynn of Pueblo last night at Murray. During those twenty-five seconds Flynn punched Dempsey twice on the right side of the head, twice on the left side, broke down Jack's guard with his right and put the finishing touches on with a steaming wallop with his left to the jaw. Dempsey was out half a minute. When he began to regain consciousness in his corner he evidently thought he was still in a pugilistic encounter, for he put up a strenuous battle with those who were trying to bring him around. Although Dempsey well knew that it is Flynn's way to start from the instant the gong sounds, hurling himself into the fray with all the speed and strength of which he is possessed Jack apparently made no preparation to meet that first onslaught. He looked like a man dazed by the swiftness with which things moved, and he was as helpless before those two rushes of Flynn as though he were but a child.
This forum will never tire of Jack Dempsey threads. Nor will it tire of Roberto Durán threads. And whilst we're at it, the forum will continue to over rate Marcel, Kalambay and Bus Station.
God forbid anyone think Jack Dempsey was ever legitimately knocked out... Im convinced that every loss, draw, and knockdown he ever suffered was a fix.
Yes I've read about the olive oil poisoning in the first Tunney fight as well. I didn't think it was legit until I saw someone else bring it up.
As we are convinced that EVERY SINGLE TIME DEMPSEY"s name is brought up you will arrive with yr revisionist ficture bile to put him down. S must be right behind you ready to back you up.
