Three weeks after defeating Thomas, Tunney took on an up and coming new heavyweight climbing the ranks, Ernie Terrell. Terrell was 13-2-0 at the time. Tunney went the 8 round distance with Terrell but, Earnie was handed the decision.

Next up on September 30th, 1959 in Charlotte, NC, Hunsaker fought Bert Whitehurst who was 28-17-5. The fight went to the 10th and final round before Whitehurst stopped Tunney before the bell rang in the 10th. Whitehurst had been posted earlier by someone.

On November 14th 1959, Hunsaker then fought a rematch with Hosea Chapman In Fayetteville. The home town crowd still could not help pull out a win for Tunney as a dropped a 12 round decision to Hosea.

Next up will be a new guy we'll meet, Jim O'Connell.
