-"Sharkey took the count of ten after going down from a vicious right hand wallop to the jaw. The Boston sailor had claimed a foul blow to the mid-section just before the climax, but the referee, Jack O'Sullivan, refused to allow it and counted him out. Dempsey's knockout victory, which sent the crowd into a delirious outburst, followed a slashing, slugging battle from start to finish. The former champion, staggered in the first round and groggy, came back to force the fighting and finally dropped his young rival." (Associated Press)
+'''From ''A Flame of Pure Fire: Jack Dempsey and the Roaring '20s'' By Roger Kahn:'''
-"People present included the Maharajah of Ratlam, India, wearing diamond-studded earrings, followed by pickpockets and detectives; Peggy Hopkins Joyce, followed by a bus party of 45; [[Jack Kearns]], onetime manager of Dempsey, followed by an odor of perfume; Bernarr Macfadden, editor & publisher of the New York (porno)Graphic; Irving Berlin, Benny Leonard, JRex Beach, David Belasco, Florenz Ziegfeld, Thomas' Meighan & Mix, Amelita Galli-Curci, John J.

''Time'' magazine, August 1, 1927 [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,730825-1,00.html]
+Unlike Tunney, Sharkey carried the fight to Dempsey. He had a snapping left hand and he moved far ahead through the first five rounds. Only Dempsey's great staying power saved him. [Manager Leo P.] [[Leo P. Flynn|Flynn]] shouted to Dempsey between rounds, "Go to the body. He doesn't like it in the guts." Sharkey had a special tactic to protect his middle. He wore the belt of his boxing shorts high.
