Dateline St Louis, MO -- April 24, 1914 at Kiel Auditorium -- the Manassa Mauler, the one and only Jack Dempsey, is back in action after a two-month hiatus, taking on veteran journeyman Joe Neff in a scheduled 8-rounder on the undercard of a triple feature of USBA title bouts involving the likes of Billy Papke, Joplin Ghost Jeff Clarke, Harry Wills and Johnny Dundee. Neff, who is winless in nine pro bouts with an overall 0-8-1 record, has primarily been a punching bag for the up and coming young HWs but has a reputation for a halfway decent chin that some say may test the hot young prospect.

Bell sounds for round one and once again it's Dempsey out to flatten his opponent. After sparring for about a minute, Jack settles in quickly and finds an opening where he lands a strong shot just under the ribcage of his opponent. Neff crumples to the canvas and is counted out at 1:43 of the first round. Another blitzkrieg KO win for Dempsey that lifts his overall record to 8-0 (all by KO) and 451 pps.

There is talk of a step up in class or perhaps a 10-round bout in Dempsey's immediate future, as the young pro looks to wrap up the first year of his pro career with another win.
