Thanks, Lee. The Uni is now in late December 1926 and two of the prospects being tracked are both fighting on the same undercard at St. Nicholas Arena in New York City. Date is December 27, 1926.

First up in a six-rounder is Jimmy Braddock, who takes on the winless TC, Charles Parkins. As usual, Braddock comes out swinging, trapping Parkins in the corner but finding a straight right blocked by the gloves of his opponent. Then a left from the "Cinderella Man" misses, landing high on Parkins' shoulder. A flurry scores some points for Braddock, Parkins misses with a left and a right. Braddock rips a hook to the head. Braddock nails Parkins with an uppercut, misses with a follow-up but scores with a stinging jab right before the bell. Good start for Braddock.

Round two, the two mean lean on each other as Braddock works inside. He tries to double up on his jab but can't find the range. A short hook to the head, then a follow-up cross by Braddock has the crowd roaring its approval. He works the head and body, landing a quick uppercut, as Parkins adopts a defensive posture to avoid further punishment.

Third round sees Braddock looking to land a haymaker, and his timing is off early in the round. He wings a big left that is sidestepped by Parkins. Braddock lands a glancing cross, but Parkins manages to keep his distance for most of the rest of the round except for a late-round uppercut that appears to stagger Parkins.

Round four, Braddock keeps up the pressure, scoring a quick flurry and finding the range with a lead right. He sneaks in a jab, then doubles up on a hook. From then on it's all Braddock, and Parkins is now offering little resistance. A jab, then an uppercut, and then the ref decides to call a halt at 2:38 of round four.

It goes down as a TKO win and runs Braddock's record up to 4-0 (3 by KO), worth 347 PPs. Braddock plans to keep busy, and his manager, Joe Gould, is looking to line up a bout in January 1927.

Next up, the Roman Warrior, Tony Canzoneri ...
