Jack Gross KO10 Jack Demave: Gross, who had Demave down in the ninth and at the beginning of the 10th, finishes it with a left hook that sends his opponent down and out at the 1:26 mark.

Demave was also badly hurt in the eighth. Gross, who won most rounds clearly, led 88-82 (twice) and 87-83 going into the 10th.

Bearcat Wright TKO10 Bob Lawson: All three of their real-life fights went the distance, but Wright ends this one with a final barrage with less than a minute remaining.

Lawson, his left eye badly swelling, hit the floor in the ninth and early in the 10th before the referee finally intervened. Wright led 88-82 (twice) and 87-83 at the time of the stoppage. Same scores as Gross-Demave, but a much more competitive bout, with most rounds closely fought until the bigger Wright wore Lawson down in the final two rounds.

Jack Sharkey W10 Vittorio Campolo: Campolo nearly scored the upset of the tournament to date, rallying in the final three frames and scoring heavily from the outside despite a badly swollen right eye.

Sharkey never had the much taller Campolo in serious trouble, but won enough of the early rounds to pull out a 97-93, 94-96, 97-93 win.

Gene Tunney KO1 Bud Gorman: Tunney spent half of the first round sizing up his badly outmatched foe, then knocked him out with the first serious punch thrown by either man, a right cross to the jaw. Gorman was counted at 1:42.


Some in the crowd of 8,307 threw rotten tomatoes and apples at Gorman as he left the ring. Security officials at the Armory, expected to be a site for future bouts in the tournament, vowed to begin screening for produce at the door.
