November 28, 1914 -- Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis -- Jack Dempsey, the hottest new property in the HW division these days, returned to the ring in a 6-round preliminary bout to the Jack Dillon-Battling Levinsky LH title clash. This time, the "Manassa Mauler" was paired with an opponent with somewhat of a reputation for a chin. Anthony Olney, a trial horse with a 0-2-2 career mark, had never been stopped and thus was thought to be a bit of a step up in class compared to the stiffs Jack had been thumping in his four prior bouts.

Ding! Bell sounds for round one and again Dempsey is in his opponent's face, looking to end it early. He scores with a lead right but Olney stands his ground. A couple of more strong shots by Dempsey land late in the round, but Olney is still standing as the bell sounds to end round one.

Second round, Dempsey tries to crowd his defensive-minded opponent who tries his best to stay away. He succeeds until late in his round until Dempsey stuns him with a mammoth blow. However, Olney does not go down and thus becomes the first of Jack's opponents to survive round two, although by now Dempsey has a massive points lead.

Round three, first time Dempsey has had to go this far and he once again comes out looking for the kill. Olney again tries to keep his distance but halfway through the round he runs into a strong combination that puts him on the canvas. He pops up quickly, perhaps too quickly, and Dempsey swarms all over him, following up wiht a vicious uppercut that sends Olney down for the count. KO at 2:12 of the third for Dempsey's fifth successive win, all inside the distance.

Dempsey is now 5-0 (5) with 386 pp. His reputation is such that the fans are clamoring for another match soon, and he will oblige with another bout before the end of 1914, his first at the Pre-Prime career stage.
