Charlie Weinert W10 Young Bob Fitzsimmons: The champ’s son comes out swinging – low, that is -- and is penalized a point for hitting below the belt in the first. Though Fitzsimmons is busier, Weinert is far more accurate with his shots and wins 98-92 and 99-91 on two cards. The fight looks closer from ringside, though, and the third official sees things completely differently, scoring it a draw. If not for the point taken away from Fitzsimmons, he would have seen Young Bob as the winner.

Primo Carnera W10 Lou Barba: Much cruder but half a foot and more than 50 pounds larger, Carnera bludgeons the hesitant Barba throughout a one-sided bout. Carnera’s clubbing rights to the head and hooks to the body put him in control early, and he opens a cut over Barba’s right eye that bothers the smaller man throughout. Barba goes down twice in the ninth, but gamely gets up each time and makes it to the final bell. Carnera is the clear winner by scores of 97-89 (twice) and 98-88.

Paulino Uzcudun TKO9 Knute Hansen: The alleged Basque Woodchopper wobbles Hansen with a left hook to the head less than 20 seconds into the fight and is in control thereafter. Hansen crashes after absorbing an uppercut in the sixth and, following his best round of the fight in the eighth, gets torn up in the ninth. Uzcudun drops his exhausted foe with a left hook midway through the round and, though Hansen rises, referee Soeren Saugmann has little choice but to wave it over at 1:51 of the ninth. Uzcudun leads 78-72 on all three cards at the time.

Jack Dempsey KO2 Sully Montgomery: The tournament’s top seed lives up to his legend, nearly beheading Montgomery with the first left hook he throws and battering him around the ring through the first. More of the same in the second, with a left hook-right cross to the chin dropping Sully shortly after the round begins and a hook under the rib cage paralyzing him as referee Mike England counts to 10 at the 1:55 mark. PunchStat showed Dempsey landing 53 punches to five for Montgomery, who was never even able to get in a punch to the groin or thumb to the eye.[/FONT]
