August 11, 1917, Vancouver's Exhibition Stadium: Gene Tunney, the "Fighting Marine," puts his unbeaten mark on the line against his first non-TC opponent, unbeaten fellow LH prospect Steve Choynski, aka "The Milwaukee Iron Man," who has compiled a very impressive 12-0-2 (5) mark, including a 10-round draw with the highly regarded Mike McTigue. Choynski is coming off a 10-round UD win over Dick Smith of the UK, and he should give Tunney a real test.

Round one, Choynski misses with a leaping shot and Tunney connects with a short uppercut. Choynski clinches and lands a quick hook. Possible head butt as there is plenty of in-close action, slight edge to Tunney in a close round.

Round two, Tunney stays outside while Choynski moves inside. A lead right scores for Choynski. Tunney then takes charge, landing a hook to the head, an uppercut, and a hook to the body. Another uppercut scores but Choynski is able to block the right follow-up by Tunney. The bells sounds after a solid round for Tunney.

Third round sees Tunney moving inside while Choynski stays outside. Tunney scores again with the uppercut, following up with a hook that forces Choynski to retreat. Tunney doubles up on the jab, dominates the action for the rest of the round but nowhere does he come close to a knockdown.

Round four, both are willing to mix it up on the inside. Tunney opens the action with a left, Choynski comes back with a right. Tunney counters with a right cross and a left hook. Choynski clinches. Good ring movement by Tunney, who takes the round.

Fifth round and Choynski tries to be more aggressive while Tunney is content to stay on the outside. Two big shots land for Tunney as Choynski is wild with his punches. Tunney dominates the action but gets called for a low blow that costs him a point. 49-45 on the unofficial card at ringside.

Round six, Tunney scores with crosses and jabs and Choynski absorbs more punishment and Tunney piles up more points.

Round seven, both work the inside and Choynski connects with a combination but leaves himself open for a Tunney overhand right followed by a crippling hook. More trouble for Choynski who is cut below the right eye.

Round eight, Tunney looks for a knockout as Choynski elects to protect the cut. Tunney bangs away with a right cross, a solid hook and a straight right and Choynski is bleeding from the cut once again. A stinging jab right before the bell punctuates another strong round for the Marine.

Ninth round, Choynski fires and misses in an effort to corner the elusive Tunney. Gene responds by doubling up on his hook and following up with an uppercut and a straight right.

Final round, Choynski goes all-out but Tunney defends well, apparently content to settle for a UD 10 win.

Tunney's KO streak goes by the boards as the final bell sounds. No arguing with the outcome, a lopsided UD 10 win for Tunney (99-90, 98-91, 99-90) as the foul in round five prevent a perfect 100 score on two of the cards.

The win runs Tunney's record to 11-0 (10) and 51 pp for the win brings his total to 537. More experienced opponents await.
