From the The Buffalo Evening Courier, November 8, 1904...Joe Jeannette easily controls the action in his second defence of the American Boxing Association heavyweight title with Philadelphia's ring phenom Battling Levinsky at McGuigan's Arena in New Jersey...Levinsky manages to land a few clean blows but they have almost no effect on the champion and he gets several hard shots in return...From the sixth round on it becomes apparent Jeannette can end the fight when he likes and Levinsky decides to stay the limit which results in few exchanges and howls from the assembled crowd...Referee Charlie White scores nine rounds for Jeannette, two for the challenger and one even...At Brooklyn's Clermont Avenue Arena Tom Kennedy survives an early knockdown to squeak out a decision over Michigan's Al Kubiak after eight rounds...A clumsy novice giant named Jess Willard out of Pottawatomie, Kansas appears on the undercard of the Tom McMahon-Dave Sawyer fight and stumbles out of the gate, taking a thumping from Dave "Bulldog" Wilson of Philadelphia before getting his wits about him and turning the tables on Wilson, starching him seconds into the 4th round with a thundering right uppercut...Jim Cameron, the Los Angeles heavyweight, improves his record to 19-4-3 (13) with a technical knockout of Dave Sinclair in three lightning rounds, his third win since dropping a points verdict to Luther McCarty last December...That loss was his first since March of 1902...A wire service report details the signing of articles between NABF champion Gunboat Smith and the "Oklahoma Brakeman" Carl Morris to meet in two weeks at Winterland Arena in San Francisco...
