Jack Dempsey beat Charlie Miller by TKO in round 1 of 4

  • Date: 1917-09-19
  • Location: Arena, Emeryville, California, USA
  • Referee: Bob Shand

From the Oakland Tribune:

Perhaps we have seen the last of Charley Miller in bay fight rings. The San Francisco motorman has been through as a fighter for some time, but has tried to hang long enough to be forced into retirement by something like last night's one-minute knockout by Jack Dempsey. Miller's best act in the fight was after he had been out for a couple of minutes and came to in his corner lying back against the ropes—"What time is it?" asked Charley. Dempsey dropped him with a left before the fight was ten seconds old and before the first minute was up he dropped him again with a right, and Miller fell half through the ropes. Referee Shand stopped the fight and Dempsey was a winner.
