Toy Bulldog Takes on Ranked WW

June 4, 1921, Boston Garden: Unbeaten MW prospect Mickey Walker was matched up against an established WW fighter, Alex Trambitas, who had compiled an impressive 19-3-3 (7) mark heading into the 10-rounder with Walker.

Round one, Walker wings a big left that is sidestepped by Trambitas. Walker probes with the jab and follows with a hard shot to the head. Trambitas backs up, Walker misses with a big shot. Trambitas sneaks home a jab. Walker dominates the action for the rest of the round, and the right eye of Trambitas is showing signs of swelling.

Second round, Walker moves inside, seeking to inflict more damage. A leaping shot by Walker falls short. Trambitas counters with a shot to the head and neck of Walker. Walker, energized, staggers his opponent with a hook to the head. Walker follows up with a big uppercut. Another straight right and a combination, and Trambitas is forced to cover up to survive the round.

Round three, more of the same as Trambitas adopts a more defensive posture, hoping to ward off the aggressive Toy Bulldog. After some clinching, Walker lands a solid hook to the head of Trambitas. Walker traps his man in the corner, misses with a cross. Then a perfect uppercut gets through, and Trambitas sinks to the canvas. He's counted out at 2:04 of the third.

The KO is Walker's 12th in 13 bouts, and he now has 627 PPs.
