Saturday results from Paris
Martin Burke W10 Otto von Porat: With the fight even on two cards going into the 10th, Burke drops his favored foe with less than a minute remaining in a back-and-forth frame to emerge with a 96-94, 96-94, 97-94 upset.
Jack Johnson W10 Chuck Wiggins: Even in his 40s, Johnson is far too smooth for Wiggins. Neither fighter is down or cut, or even particularly hurt, but Johnson is in control throughout for a 99-91, 97-94, 99-91 nod.
Max Schmeling TKO6 Arthur de Kuh: Max makes like a machine, battering de Kuh from the opening bell. Schmeling has his prey down and nearly out in the fifth, drops him again in the sixth and finally forces the ref to intervene at the 2:26 mark.
Georges Carpentier W10 Monte Munn: The Orchid Man, apparently eager to show that he can get away with perhaps the least intimidating nickname in pugilistic history, batters his overmatched opponent throughout. Carpentier drops Munn in the eighth and ninth, but backs off in the final frame, content with a 97-92, 99-89, 98-90 decision.
