Clipped from front pages of San Francisco Call and Los Angeles Herald...Good fight....not as one-sided as most expected....Sharkey was a badger inside, rushing Jackson constantly and working the body with vicious blows....Referee took one round from Sharkey for using his head and could have taken another for low blows....Jackson pounded Sharkey coming in with straight punches with all his weight behind them...Several head-butts and looping left hooks had the champion's right eye swelling up and Sharkey suffered a cut under his left eye from Jackson's uppercuts....In fact ringsiders were surprised by the number of uppercuts thrown by both men....Walt Sanders of Mitt Slingers Magazine counted 84 from Jackson and 69 from Sharkey....Referee Hiram Cook scored 11 rounds for Jackson two for Sharkey and two even....Maritime Wire Service report had it much closer with 8 rounds Jackson 6 rounds Sharkey and 1 even....
