Thanks, mh. One more bout to report on before the 1923 year-end wrap ups.

December 15, 1923 -- Uline Arena, Washington DC: LH prospect "Slapsie Maxie" Rosenbloom goes for win #4, taking on TC Phil Hinson (0-3) in a scheduled six-rounder.

Round one: Maxie starts slowing, measuring his opponent from the outside. He swings and misses, and a short uppercut gets through for Hinson. Rosenbloom steps up the pace, scoring with a jab and a quick flurry that backs Hinson into the ropes. A couple of more shots land for Maxie, and Hinson returns to his corner showing signs of swelling under his left eye.

Round two: Rosenbloom moves to the inside, while Hinson tries to stay away on the outside. Not much action, and just about all the scoring blows are landed by Rosenbloom, who uses his jab to set up a double left hand. After some holding and hitting, Rosenbloom lands a leaping shot. Hinson finally connects with a big left right before the bell.

Third round, more of the same while Rosenbloom stays on the inside, pressing the action. Hinson bounces a shot off Rosenbloom's shoulder, and Maxie replies with a straight right hand. Hinson connects with a short uppercut. Rosenbloom misses with a right and a left, but scores with a hook to the head. Late in the round, a solid combination puts Hinson on the defensive. Another strong round for Rosenbloom.

Round four, Rosenbloom is more aggressive, looking for the KO. He stalks his man but can't connect with a telling blow. Hinson is off target but able to defend himself versus Rosenbloom's repeated forays. However, the overall impact is apparent as Hinson appears to tire near the end of the round.

Fifth round, Rosenbloom continues to apply the pressure from the inside. Maxie flicks the jab, Hinson jabs back, Rosenbloom blocks the next shot and follows with a hook. Rosenbloom works the head and body, wearing down his opponent. Some good action near the end of the round, and it's all Rosenbloom who connects with another hook to the head and an uppercut to the chin. Hinson, staggered, survives to hear the bell.

Final round, and this time Maxie is content to work outside. Rosenbloom connects with a hook and follows with a lead right. Hinson is short with a right and tries to retreat. Rosenbloom corners his man and fires away with a continuous barrage. Finally, the ref decides Hinson has sustained enough punishment and calls a halt with just eight seconds left in the bout.

Rosenbloom by TKO at 2:52 of the sixth. Maxie winds up the year at 4-0 (2), with 343 PPs.
