Dempsey Hopes #13 Won't Be Unlucky

Dateline Vancouver, BC Exhibition Gardens, March 18, 1916 -- Highly regarded HW prospect Jack Dempsey is featured going for his 13th KO win in a row, all at the start of his career, in the main support bout for the NABF FW title clash. Dempsey steps into the ring against journeyman Marty "Kid" Cutler, who enters the bout with a 15-11 (6) mark, having demonstrated some power but also a suspect chin as he has been stopped three times previously.

Dempsey comes into the bout in great shape, and he quickly forces his opponent into a neutral corner in round one, pummeling him on the inside with a powerful uppercut. He then lands several other blows, one of which opens a cut above the left eye of the hapless Cutler. Midway through the opening stanza, the "Manassa Mauler" finds the mark with a vicious shot just below the ribcage that sends Cutler sprawling to the canvas. Cutler, shaken, arises to his feet at the count of 9, and he desperately attempts to cover up for the remainder of the round. Dempsey continues stalking his opponent, finally connecting with a wicked cross with just a few seconds left in round one. Cutler goes down and is counted out, after the bell.

Dempsey by KO at the end of round one. His outstanding record is now 13-0 (all by KO) and 596 pp. The KO streak remains intact, and a couple of more bouts and he will qualify for a ranking.
