    He was man enough to go seeking an immediate rematch!

    Ridiculous. Why are you applying 21st century biology to a 20th century man? Hemorrhagic shock would be a foreign concept to an old school man like Tunney. It wouldn't be enough to bother him.

    Easy to do when you have the mob backing you and you've paid an army of newspapermen to fill the papers with false stories (sometimes contradicting their own coverage, of how dirty Greb was in the first fight to color the officials in the rematch) and you have a paid off referee as well as the most powerful man on the NYSAC commission overseeing the fight who just happened to be one of your closest friends and the brother of the guy whose house you trained at to insure your victory while your people harass Greb and his dying wife day and night with threats in the run up to the fight. And he still got his ass kicked. Yup, he was fearless.

    If he had all this going for him why wasn't Greb slung out for fouling in their first fight?
    I never said he was fearless.I'd say Greb was.
