The opening round wasn’t notable, but in round two the champion landed “a couple of smashing body blows with his left hand.” No real harm was done, however. The majority of his follow-up attempts to the midsection in this and later rounds were blocked by “Battling” Jim, who, it was said, fought out of a deeper crouch than that of James J. Jeffries. This allowed Jim to land his own rattling blows to the stomach of his adversary. He forced the action, largely making the fight, although Jack certainly got in more than his share of left jabs to the head. He doubled up on it, getting in a multitude of right uppercuts, as well and moved well on his feet. Le Figaro claimed that Jack broke the radius of his left arm in round 5, when Jim crashed home a powerful right hand to his elbow. From the 6th to the end of the match, the latter was on the defensive. In the 7th stanza, Jim broke through the guard of the champion on three occasions, raking his foe with sharp uppercuts. Le Figaro wrote “…by the 7th round, Johnson’s broken face read defeat …” If not for the great defense of “Li’l Artha,” his young challenger might have knocked him out. It was only Jack’s superior boxing ability and supreme skill that enabled him to see the finish.

At the final bell ending the 10th round, Jack staggered to the ropes, clutching his left arm and saying he’d broken it. When the angry and disbelieving crowd demanded to know just when this alleged injury occurred, they received the reply that it was in the 3rd frame. The referee declared the fight a draw, allowing the champion to retain his title. The New York Times said, “It was the general impression among the spectators that the injury had been sustained in the last minute of the fight, when Jim Johnson rushed Jack to the ropes and the two went to the floor, with Jack’s arms closed about Jim’s waist. Both men jumped up quickly, but Jack was plainly exhausted and he fell against the ropes as the gong sounded. Then, he tottered to his corner, holding his left arm and declaring it was broken.” The paper added that the opponent of the fistic monarch had “battered him all around the ring” and would have taken him out if the bout had proceeded much longer


>>>Sounds like Battling Jim Johnson was robbed! That's right, a man with a journeyman fighter got the better of Johnson as champion.

Good posts both of ye but this Jim Johnson thing has been done here long ago and many times.
McVey, keep up the on line book finds-great. Carp's is out there too, dont have the link just now but you'll find it.

 

This fight was actually a 20 rounder and was cut short to save Jack Johnson's championship when he broke his arm against the journeyman Jim Johnson.
Battling Jim had been giving Jack a beating throughout the fight.
