Charley Weinert 185 lbs beat Jack Sharkey 193 lbs by NWS in round 12 of 12

• Date: 1924-12-15
• Location: 113th Regiment Armory, Newark, New Jersey, USA

"Charley Weinert and Jack Sharkey drew no more than 4,000 spectators to the 113th regiment armory in New York for their 12 round bout on Monday night. But the fight that Weinert and Sharkey put up proved to be worthy of the biggest crowd that could have been packed into the building. Weinert gave one of those exhibitions of science prevailing over brute strength such as one often reads about but seldom sees. But this Lithuanian (Sharkey) who has adopted a famous ring cognomen and in fact could pass, from the looks of him, as a son of Erin, is a dangerous young man." Oakland Tribune
