DEMPSEY WON TITLE
AFTER HE WAS K. 0.
BY OLD JIM FLYNN
i
JOHNSON AND DEMPSEY WERE
LONGEST RULING CHAMPS
AFTER K. O.
!
NEW YORK, Sept/ 3 7. (/P)—Jack
Dempsey may fail to regain his
! much-cherished heavyweight crown
his battle next week with Gene
Tunney, just as Sullivan, Corbett,
Fitzsimmons, Jeffries and Willard
before him found the comeback hur
dle too touch to leap.
But the once famous giant killer
from the west can at least lay claim
to having once won the title after
having been knocked out. Jack, it 1
will be recalled, took the count at
the hands of Jim Flynn a few years
before he won the title from Willard
in 1919.
True, it may have been more or
less of a sympathetic kayo, but it
went on the records as a knockout
nevertheless. Dempsey later proved
his mastery over Flynn by kayoing
“Fireman Jim" in a quick and de
cisive fashion.
Fitzsimmons and Corbett were j
both defeated before they reached j
the festive heights, but not via
kayoes. Sullivan was held to a draw
a few times and so was Jeffries,
ere each squatted atop the throne.
Sullivan and Jeffries were kayoed
just once, each losing his title on
jthe occasion. Fitzsimmons suffered
| five knockouts and Corbett three
i during their careers. Jeffries ac-;
| counted for two of Fitz’s and as !
many of “Gentleman Jim’s."
Willard was kayoed twice. Fol
; lowing his three-round defeat again
I st Dempsey at Toledo, Jess staged
|a short-lived comeback by kayoing
Floyd Johnson four years later. Two
months later after the triumph, howT
lever, Willard was put to sleep by
I Louis Firpo in an elimination bout
to find an opponent for Dempsey
! The only heavyweight champion
outside of Dempsey to climb the pur
ple heights after being knocked out
was Jack Johnson—Marvin Hart and
Tommy Burns not being considered
in the titular list.
Johnson was floored for the count!
by Joe Choynski in three rounds in i
1901. Nine years later Lil Arthur
won the title by kayoing Jeffries at
Reno in 15 sessions. Johnson later
| met the fate of his predecessors, be
ing stopped by Willard in 1915, In
the 26th round.
It’s a rather odd coincidence that
Johnson and Dempsey, the two long
est ruling monarchs, were the only
ones to gain the laurels after having
taken dreamland punches on the
road up the ladder.
Furthermore, Johnson and Demp
sey both won their titles on July 4,
only they came nine years apart.
In the matter of gate receipts, though
there was a vast difference in the
drawing power of the two Jacks.
Johnson drew a ticket sale of slight
ly more than 270,000 in his battle
with Jeffries, while more than a mil
lioh and a half was taken in at the
Dempsey-Tunney clash last fall.
