March 1, 1919 -- Detroit, MI: Mickey Walker, the "Toy Bulldog," steps into the ring against his second opponent, Geoff Crockett, a MW TC who lost his initial bout in 1918. Looks like an opportunity for Walker to continue to pad his record.

Walker starts off strong, landing a big right that catches his opponent on the button seconds after the opening bell. Walker tries to follow up with a short uppercut, but misses. But Crockett is vulnerable to a strong cross, which Walker plants right on his chin, and Crockett crumples to the canvas. He arises at the count of 7, looking a bit groggy. Crockett is in trouble, and Walker connects with a left hook. Crockett tries to cover up, but Walker finds his target with another vicious hook that puts his man on the deck for the second time. Crockett rolls over, and this time he barely beats the count. The ref seems reluctant to allow the bout to continue, but soon Walker is swarming all over his hapless opponent, causing the ref to step in.

It's all over at 1:56 of round one. TKO for Walker. Mickey runs his record to 2-0 (2 KOs) and 283 pp. He will take a bit of a break before resuming his pugilistic career in June.
