Dempsey Back in Action
October 3, 1914 -- Mammoth Gardens, Denver CO:
"Manassa Mauler" Jack Dempsey returns to the ring in a 6-round prelim bout on the undercard of the Mike Gibbons World MW Title Bout. This time Jack returns to his native Colorado to face TC Scott Gleason, whose 1-3 mark includes one win by kayo, so Jack had better be on guard.
Dempsey rushes out at the opening bell, once again looking for a quick KO. He pins the hapless Gleason in the corner and then lands a picture-perfect cross. Gleason goes down in a heap and is counted out. Dempsey wins by KO at just 1:06 of the first round, his quickest win so far.
The win boosts Dempsey's record to 4-0 (all by KO, all in two rounds or less). He has a total of 352 pp now. Word of his prowess has spread far and wide, he is becoming a big gate attraction, and already he has been contracted for his next bout, just a month away in November.
