Rosenbloom in 10-Rounder

September 6, 1924 -- Detroit, Briggs Stadium: Unbeaten LH prospect "Slapsie Maxie" Rosenbloom takes a step forward tonight when he faces veteran TC Tim Law (1-14 in 15 career starts) in a scheduled 10-round affair.

Round one, Rosenbloom wings a left that is side-stepped by Law, who instead runs into a short hook to the ribs from Maxie. Then Rosenbloom follows up, nailing Law with a sharp combination. Law, staggered, is in full retreat. Rosenbloom blasts home a hook, shows good ring movement. Then he follows up with a left hand that snaps Law's head back with another strong shot. Rosenbloom wraps up a strong opening round with a final flurry right before the bell.

Having established control in a strong first round, Maxie is content to work outside in round two. Rosenbloom's left falls short, and Law smothers the follow up blows from Maxie. Rosenbloom works the head and body, but Law seems to be stronger than in the initial round. The pace slows noticeably, lots of clinching and grabbing, some probing jabs by both men. Law hangs on to last the round, slight edge to Rosenbloom.

Third round, Rosenbloom steps up the pace and moves inside, while Law stays outside. Rosenbloom connects with an uppercut, and he starts letting his hands go. A right from Law gets through, and Rosenbloom responds with an uppercut. Another pause in the action, then Maxie lands a left-right combination that rocks his opponent. A right hook drops Law briefly right before the bell sounds to save him from further punishment.

Round four, more of the same with Rosenbloom looking to force matters on the inside. Law is now sporting a cut over the left eye, and his right eye has started to puff up. Rosenbloom scores with an uppercut but Law moves out of range. Later in the round, the cut worsens and the ring physician is called in to have a look. The bout is allowed to continue, and a Rosenbloom unleashes a ferocious attack, nailing Law with a straight right. Law goes down, and this time he does not get up.

Rosenbloom by KO at 2:59 of round four, running his record to 11-0 (7 KOs), worth 492 PPs.
