First round results:
Sullivan W15 Braddock
Dempsey KO7 Corbett
Louis KO4 Willard
Fitzsimmons W15 Sharkey
Ali W15 Schmeling
Jeffries KO10 Walcott
Marciano W15 Tunney
Baer W15 Johnson

My comments re the first round results:
I like Tunney in an upset squeeker over Marciano but IMO that could go either way. I also like Sharkey to upset Fitz. Biggest and most obvious mistake, of course, was Baer over Johnson, which I personally find almost impossible to imagine. Otherwise, close enough.

Second round results:
Marciano TKO 13 Baer
Jeffries W15 Ali
Dempsey KO7 Sullivan
Louis TKO8 Fitzsimmons

My comments re second round results:
I don't think, as many do, that Jeffries over Ali is a joke, but I do favor Ali on points. Otherwise, close enough.

Semi-finals:
Dempsey W15 Louis
Marciano TKO14 Jeffries

My comments re semi-finals:
Both these fights could go either way, IMO. Hard time arguing too strongly for or against either result.

Final:
Marciano KO13 Dempsey

My comment re final:
I like the Mauler here-- mid round TKO.

Defense:
Marciano KO13 Ali.

My comment re defense:
I like Ali on points
