"Those that saw the battle will never forget it"
Ed Dunkhorst "had an army of seconds", while Yank Kenny's included Bob Fitzsimmons. Kenny outlanded Dunkhorst landing many bodyshots, and other hard punches that staggered him. Dunkhorst, however, was resiliant, and was never droped. Dunkhorst landed some solid shots of his own, even closing Kenny's left eye, however by the 17th round he was so exhausted he could barely defend.
