1920-08-10 card at the Bayonne A. A., Bayonne, NJ

BoxRec incorrectly lists the date as August 16.

John Burke (boxer_id=032593) – Jack Kelly (boxer_id=241065, hometown is San Francisco, not NJ as per BoxRec) KO1/SCH12 1:02

To be added:

Phil Delmont (boxer_id=13632) – Happy Smith (boxer_id=053835) W12
New York Times: “Delmont had a shade on his more experienced opponent and carried the fight to Smith.”

(On a side note, Mickey Walker writes in his autobiography that Delmont had 16 KOs in 17 bouts prior to their 1919 bout, in which Walker could not come out of his corner for Round 2, TKO1.)

Carl Dana – Walter Donovan (boxer_id=187625) KO3/SCH8
New York Times: “In a heavyweight clash Carl Dana sent Walter Donovan to sleep in the third round of an eight-round bout after having punished his opponent for the first two periods.”
