Date: April 4, 1914. The scene: Denver, Colorado. The pro debut of the much heralded youngster, 18-year old HW prospect Jack Dempsey. After several amateur fights (brawls) throughout the cow-towns of Colorado he's ready for the big time, taking on stiff Bud Pressler in his first pro bout. Pressler, who lost by TKO his first time out, is expected to be nothing more than cannon fodder for the young Dempsey.

The bell sounds for round one and Dempsey comes out fast, looking for the knockout. Pressler holds him off for the first minute, but resistance is futile as the youngster breaks through with a series of combinations that sends Pressler reeling. A clean uppercut then puts Pressler on the canvas for the first time. Less than a minute left in the round, Dempsey's killer instinct kicks in, but he can't finish Pressler. On to round two.

Round two, the bells sounds and it's more of the same. An aggressive Dempsey is all over Pressler, non-stop action. Pressler can't get out of the way of the punches. Two-third of the way through the round he is caught off balance, and Dempsey nails him with a big left. Pressler goes down and this time he does not get up. Jack Dempsey by KO at 2:46 of round 2.

Dempsey's record is now 1-0 (1) and he has 241 pp.
