Arbuckle and Chaplin as Seconds?

[Norm]

I was reading an excerpt from a Chaplin biography. Does anyone know if, besides the bouts listed on Boxrec.com between McNeil and Dolan, if there was another that involved a 1st round KO like mentioned ?

I just wonder if there is any validity to Joyce Milton's account in "Tramp: The Life of Charlie Chaplin":

"Arbuckle, Chaplin and many of the staff at Keystone were boxing fans and some former boxers even ending up working there such as Al McNeil, who became an editor, and screen comic Edgar Kennedy, who once went fourteen rounds with the legendary Jack Dempsey. According to author Joyce Milton in Tramp: The Life of Charlie Chaplin, "On one occasion Fatty Arbuckle and Chaplin agreed to act as seconds in a bout between McNeil and a fighter named Frankie Dolan. Betting was heavy, and, unknown to the seconds, the fight was fixed. Dolan was supposed to win, but in the first round he walked into McNeil's right hand and crashed to the canvas. The audience went crazy, and both the fighters and seconds had to flee the arena. Arbuckle made good use of this experience in a film called The Knockout..."

This is Dolan's record on Boxrec:

Fatty Arbuckle and Charlie Chaplin attended fights in Vernon, California during the Four-Round Era (1914-1924). According to one article that I read, Frankie Dolan was a favorite fighter of Chaplin. Besides being a boxer, Dolan was a referee and appeared in movies during his lifetime.
