Feb. 23, 1924, Boston Garden: Unbeaten LH prospect "Slapsie Maxie" Rosenbloom steps up in distance to the world of 8-rounders, taking on veteran TC Al Holloway (record 0-6-1) for his first bout at Pre-Prime Career stage. Holloway is not expected to pose problems for the slick-boxing Rosenbloom.

Round one, Holloway starts by tying up Rosenbloom, who works free and lands with a hook. Holloway misses. Maxie follows a stinging jab with a short uppercut. More clinching by his opponent. Rosenbloom manages to plant a hook inside the defense of Holloway. After a couple of misses, Rosenbloom dances around the ring. Holloway lands with a hook late in the round, but otherwise it's all Rosenbloom in round one.

Second round, Maxie works the outside. A hook to the body forces Holloway to give ground. Rosenbloom connect with another hook, shoots the jab and follows with a hook to the body. Maxie continues to flick the jab, and Holloway has no answer. Holloway continues to absorb punishment until, late in the round, the ref decides to call a halt.

Rosenbloom by TKO at 2:53 of round two to run his record to 6-0 (3 KOs), worth 398 PPs. Next bout will be in April 1924, in two months' time.
