Toronto Globe and Mail, March 23, 1897:

“Syracuse, March 22.—Jim Popp, the Canadian light-weight champion, proved himself more than a match for Joe Dean, the Buffalo light-weight, in their battle before the Syracuse A. A. to-night. He forced the fight from the start, seeming able to land almost at will on Dean’s head, neck and shoulders. In the ninth round Dean was felled twice, and as the gong sounded his seconds threw up the sponge.”
