Dateline May 13, 1916 -- Briggs Stadium in Detroit: Jack Dempsey climbs into the ring seeking his 14th consecutive victory against George "One Round" Davis, a fairly accomplished but limited "2" rated boxer with plenty of power but not much defense. (Davis has managed to live up to his moniker twice -- once with a TKO in the first of a TC but more recently as a one-round KO victim of highly regarded prospect, Fred Fulton.) He did manage a TKO in 2 of Al Palzer, who was ranked in the top 20 a couple of years back, en route to compiling a decent 11-5-1 (7) record. So, not likely to be a pushover ...

The bell sounds and Davis gets off first with a big hook but Dempsey, undaunted, presses forward, landing a few shots here and there. "One Round" manages to survive the first versus Dempsey, but it was clearly the Manassa man's round.

Round two, Davis is still wary of Dempsey's power, and Dempsey sets up Davis with a jab, forcing him into the ropes, where he follows up with a right and a combination of shots. Davis manages to survive the round but looks weary already.

Dempsey lets his hands go at the start of round three, nailing Davis with a straight right hand. "One Round" counters with a three-punch combo, but Dempsey comes back with a big left hand followed by a right uppercut just before the bell sounds.

More mayhem in round four as Dempsey continues to stalk his opponent, landing a cross, picking off some shots by Davis, followed by a crippling left hook, a hard jab, and an uppercut. A wobbly-legged Davis retreats to the neutral corner, where he is nailed by a Dempsey hook as the round ends. Big round for Dempsey, but still no knockdowns.

Round five sees Dempsey take a bit of a breather as Davis starts the action with an uppercut. Dempsey responds with an uppercut of his own, and continues plodding forward. Davis tries to jab, but once again Dempsey gets in a good shot right before the bell that causes Davis to crumble to the canvas, but he manages to beat the count.

The sixth starts with Dempsey looking to follow up on the KD at the end of the previous round. Davis, however, is backpedaling and keeping his distance. The Manassa Mauler closes the distance and finds the range with a cross and a three-punch combo, staggering his opponent. Another big uppercut has Davis reeling, and then the ref, Harry Krause, steps in to call a halt to the proceedings.

Dempsey by TKO at 2:00 of round 6. The KO and win streaks remain intact after 14 bouts. Dempsey's record is now 14-0 (14), with 631 pp. One more bout and he qualifies for a ranking.
