The fight was competitive until the 19th round when McCarthy was hurt. Dempsey then dropped McCarthy multiple times in the 26th round, who was advised to quit, but refused. In round 28 McCarthy was "knocked senseless" [1] In round 27th McCarthy was dropped repeatedly, in the 28th Dempsey said he didn't want to beat him anymore, before McCarthy's second Paddy Gorman threw up the sponge.
