Young Jack Blackburn beat Rattlesnake Williams by KO at 0:12 in round 1 of 10

  • Date: 1924-07-22
  • Location: Jackson Hall, Lexington, Kentucky, USA
  • Referee: Joe Long

A left jab followed by a right uppercut to the heart, put Williams down for the count. The Lexington Herald reported that the two men had spent a few seconds feeling each other out, so it is likely the time of the knockout blow landing was 12 seconds, not the kayo. Williams had sustained a rib injury in a previous meeting, that may have eased the knockout blow.
