    I was watching a documentary about American criminals from the black and white TV era called America in colour where they change black and white footage of American historical footage to colour and a page of a newspaper in the 30`s was flashed onscreen and one the headlines stated Dempsey ws attacked by a women, that`s al I saw of that article, does anyone know the full story?

    Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but there was a story in 1934 that when Dempsey got rough with one of the wrestlers in a bout he was refereeing the wrestler's wife jumped into the ring and attacked him. By one account she gave him "a thorough pasting and finally forced him to retire in a groggy and battered condition."

    Maybe she thought it was real and jumped in thinking Dempsey was really hitting her husband.

    John L Sullivan received a black eye from one of his mistresses once!

    I will try to dig out the reference.

    Abraham Lincoln was also a battered husband as was John Wayne, Lincoln`s wife suffered from bi-polar.

    So did Wayne for the way he portrayed native Americans in his romantic westerns about the 'old west', but I don`t like anyone getting humiliated like that, my friend got beat up by a girl as a kid and told his older sister who had to go and fight the girl on her brothers behalf.

    Obviously if a girl picks on you, you expect your sister to batter her!

    Dunno why Waynes copping flak for this. He was an actor, he didnt write the scripts. All his wives and ex-wives were latin/south american
