Tunney enters the ring in tip-top condition.

A jab to the chest and a series of strong blow has Millard staggering. Tunney also manages to bloody Millard's nose as he dominates action in the initial stanza, but Millard makes it to the bell.

Round two, Tunney has trouble finding the range. Midway through the round he connects with a couple of body shots and then an uppercut leads to some swelling around Millard's right eye. Millard looks vulnerable as Tunney tags him with a couple of hard jabs at the end of the round.

Third round sees Tunney become more aggressive, landing a solid cross. A big hook by Tunney lands flush and has Millard hanging on, and he manages to stay on his feet despite taking a fearful beating from Tunney.

Round four, Tunney moves inside and lands a volley at the outset. Millard scores with a hook. Tunney responds with a right hook of his own. Millard fights back, landing a lead right and a jab to the jaw of Tunney. Tunney manages to reopen the cut on Millard's nose, but it is the best round for Millard thus far.
