Willard Comes from Behind to Beat Moran
By the way, the Willard-Moran feature bout from the same card as Dempsey turned out to be a real duesie. An aggressive Jess Willard took the early lead with a KD of Moran midway through the bout, but the Pittsburgh Dentist rallied and came back to put Willard on the canvas in the 9th. Going into the final round, Moran led on all cards but the Pottawatomie Giant came through to score the knockdown he needed in the final stanza, and the two-point round meant he won by UD 10 instead of Moran.
With the win, Willard is now 20-1, and likely to contend for an NABF or USBA title belt soon.
