Moment of the Match

A strong argument could be made for Jack Sharkey securing the win with a 2-0 verdict in the final bout of a tied match. However, where it not for Archie Moore's upset of John L Sullivan, that moment would have never been possible. Looking much more comfortable in the #3 slot instead of anchor, Moore took advantage of Sullivan's plodding style with a crisp jab and nimble feet. With the bout close after 2, Moore asserted himself in the final round. Sitting down more on his right hand and snapping Sullivan's head back as he rushed in, Archie won the round comfortably to take the bout. The decision set the table for Sharkey and should once again endear Moore to the Louisville fans, as the Clays keep pace with Hebron, remaining 1 game behind the Haymakers.
