Moment of the Match

Tommy Gibbons set the pace and set the house afire with his first round blitz of Bob Dunlap. Racing from his corner, Gibbons eschewed his normal scientific style, instead unleashing a blistering attack that drove Dunlap back into his own corner. Sensing blood, Gibbons poured it on until referee Mills Lane had to choice but to jump between the fighters, saving Dunlap from further punishment.

Buckeye fans were left to hope that their big gun, John L Sullivan could match Gibbons. But Sullivan, still looking for his first KO of the season, needed a third round knockdown to avoid a loss. Lorenzo Zanon was soundly thrashing John L in the final stanza until a left hook from caught him flush with just 31 seconds to go, giving Sullivan the round and the fight.
