"The boxing contest drew a big crowd and the fans saw a real fight when Firpo of Burke won a technical knockout over Tommy Lynch, the champion of Montana. It was the old time Firpo in the ring last night. He started off with a rush and never quit going after his man. In fact he carried the fight to Lynch so fast that the Montana lad never had much of a chance to do any aggressive work, the Burke terror keeping him busy trying to defend himself. The fight ended at the end of the seventh, Lynch refusing to come up for the eighth after being practically out during the seventh, hanging on the greater portion of the round. Firpo put up as fine a battle as he has ever shown in his long career. He may be getting along in years but he still packs dynamite in either hand and swings as hard as ever."
