July 4, 1923
Georges Carpentier, the toast of France, and a light-heavyweight will defend his Heavyweight title against the even lighter Tommy Gibbons.
Carpentier once again enters the ring badly overweight while Gibbons is in top condition.
The fight is back and forth action and goes the distance. The judges score it 9-6, 8-5, and 9-6.
Georges Carpentier by unanimous decision over Tommy Gibbons.
(Real life: Dempsey outpointed Gibbons)

September 14, 1923
Carpentier looks to Argentina for his next opponent and welcomes The Wild Bull of the Pampas, Luis Firpo.
Both fighters are in top condition.
The score cards are equal but Carpentier's face is a mess. The referee halts the beating.
Luis Firpo by TKO at the 20 second mark of Round 10.
(Real life: Dempsey by KO in Round 2)

From the U.S. to Canada, back to the U.S., over to France, and now in Argentina. A truly world championship.
