Thanks, Tommy.

It's now Sept. 1924 in the Uni and we will pick up in the careers of Rosenbloom and McLarnin, plus follow a new HW whose career is just starting up.

Sept. 6, 1924 -- Edmonton Gardens, Alta., Canada -- Popular Canadian WW hopefully Jimmy "Baby Face" McLarnin steps into the ring for his first scheduled 8-round bout. Winless TC Bud Shore (0-5) is the opponent.

Round one: McLarnin lands a couple of shots, Shore responds with a combination. McLarnin splits the gloves with a jab. Both men retreat to the outside. McLarnin pops the jab, and then he blocks a straight left from Shore. McLarnin connects with a solid combination, then misses with a left and a right. Shore's left eye is already beginning to puff up from the accumulation of blows unleashed by McLarnin.

Round two: McLarnin fires and misses. A right cross gets through for McLarnin. Shore is trapped in the corner, and the Canadian hopeful sticks a jab to the chest, followed by a right cross. The swelling worsens, and Shore retreats. McLarnin unleashes a huge left, which Shore manages to avoid. Shore lands with a flurry, McLarnin doubles up on his hook. Shore connects with a jolting uppercut on the inside. McLarnin lands with an uppercut of his own. Great action, both men landing strongly. McLarnin connects with an uppercut to the chin right before the bell.

Third round, Shore lands a jab, and McLarnin is searching to find the range. A hook scores for "Baby Face," and then he follows with another hook to the midsection that sucks the air out of his opponent. A sharp combination has Shore in even more trouble. An uppercut from McLarnin rolls the eyes back in Shore's head. Shore tries to cover up, but McLarnin is swarming all over him. Finally, the ref decides Shore has taken enough punishment. It goes down as a TKO win for McLarnin at 2:45 of round three.

The win lifts McLarnin's record to 6-0 (all by KO) worth 408 PP. He is expected to return to the ring in October.
