Fight:165256

The fight was "one of the hardest ever seen. Both men carry a terrific wallop". Larsen was down in the 4th and the 6th and was defenceless on rising, the bout being stopped. He collapsed after leaving the ring, was hospitalized and it was reported in the next day's press that he was not expected to survive. (New York Times)Larsen's appendix had been removed ten weeks prior, and apparently Hambone's body blows opened some unhealed internal incisions. Kelly broe wrist in 2d round.
