I remember noticing the odd way Dempsey throws some of his punches in the Willard fight, at some points he holds his arm out and swings it like a club, if I remember correctly its one of the times Willard is half way up (or half way down).

We'll never know, but I hope there wasn't anything shifty involved as he Dempsey wouldn't have needed it.
It used to happen all the time back then,all you had to do was slip some lead powder in to the glove,and bang instant black jack.
Theres a reason the promoter picks the gloves,and theyre checked before the fighter gets them
