Gene Tunney X Jack Dempsey I & II
Hope IamInuit and the mods don't mind me posting this here:
88 yrs ago on this date Jack Dempsey X Gene Tunney I
87 yrs ago on yesterday's date, the rematch occurred - Gene Tunney X Jack Dempsey II - this fight was aka "The Long Count Fight" - Dempsey insisted on a new rules change when fighter is downed, opponent goes to a neutral corner - Dempsey floors Tunney with a combo and forgets to go to a neutral corner and the ref doesn't start counting which gives Tunney variable seconds to recover.
"A good stickgrappler has good stick skills, good grappling, & good stickgrappling & can keep track of all 3 simultaneously. This is a good trick & can be quite effective." - Marc 'Crafty Dog' Denny
