I have heard so many stories about Miske being ill and Dempsey being a friend wanting to deliver a payday for his friend, but seldom have I encountered a good read about the fight itself; know of any? - have to admit to ignorance on the man as a fighter; curious to read other's opinions.

was this fight filmed ?
If not,why not ?
or is it another 'lost"fight" ?

Like many fighters, he is underappreciated (maybe even unknown) to many and overrated by others. In the Boxrec bubble, he probably is underappreciated.

On the other hand, he is somehow in the Hall of Fame, so some people must appreciate him.
