Here's a shocker for me. The Fightin' Marine, Gene Tunney is defending his world title at Madison Square Garden against The Basque Woodchopper, Paolino Uzcudun. This is Uzcudun's second shot at the title, the other being a decision loss to Big George Godfrey. Tunney is coming off a TKO win over Max Schmeling.

Eugene Henderson of the UK is the referee, Nat Fleischer and I are the judges (Conflict of Interest? Yeah, probably.) Anyway Tunney cruises through the first three rounds, plastering the Basque with combinations so you figure Uzcudun won't last ten never mind 15. Then, in the 4th, Tunney hits Uzcudun low. Why? Who knows. Henderson warns Tunney, and I'm thinking of the night Tunney beat Georges Carpentier with an upercut to the family jewels. In the 5th round Tunney hits Paolino low again and draws another caution, then does it again and gets a point taken away. I'm thinking Paolino must be insulting Tunney's mother or something. No sooner does the sixth round start then ol' Gene fouls Uzcudun again. I'm picturing Uzcudun down on all fours. Henderson wastes no time and disqualifies Tunney! The winner and new Heavyweight Champeen of da Woild, Paolino Uzcudun!!!
