Just watched the fight, I had seen it before..knew it sounded familiar.

What is true was that was a horrible beating..cant believe that. It hurts to watch.

"Willard had a broken cheekbone, broken jaw, several teeth knocked out, partial hearing loss in one ear, and broken ribs"

And Willard outweighed Dempsey by something like 50-60 lbs?

The severity of the damage that Dempsey caused on a much bigger man and that fact Dempsey's whole purse was supposedly wagered on a first round KO makes me think there must have been something.
