197 and one-quarter pounds.

since he was knocked oui py Max

ed Sharkey twice for the count
of nine in the second round and
sent him to the mat for another
count of nine before putting over
two hard lefts to end the fight af
ter one minute and two seconds
of the third round.
The negro swarmed over the 33

never giving the former cham
pion a chance to land a clean
blow.
A right to the jaw floored Shar
key for the first time in the sec
ond round and a series of rights

er hard right early in the third,

feet only to run into a barage
which sent him reeling to the mat
for the full count.
