Controversies immediately arose, as some critics believed that Farmer had not actually been KO'd. A fan declared he had seen lead weights drop out of Lamson's gloves as he left the ring, according to some day-after newspaper wire reports. The local Commission ultimately concluded handles from a skipping rope had been thrown into the ring by some "disgruntled, playful fan."
