Unger, Max (debut/final) vs. Beck, Carl (debut/final) Lenox Athletic Club O’Roarke, Tom (promoter) White, Charlie (referee)
For a card offering 30 rounds of fistic prowess, the crowd was given a smaller portion. The "original" Joe Walcott, a Guianan-born "Demon" welterweight boxing out of Barbados, knocked out the Kiwi world middleweight contender Creedon in the 1st of a scheduled 20, while the New Yorker Unger put the German boxer Beck on the canvas four times in the same short order, leaving patrons with fewer than two frames of excitement from the evening's events. This was the 1st of 4 engagements between the New Zealander and the Barbadan middleweight in the year, all won by Walcott, though with more difficulty in each of the subsequent 3. There are no other surviving records of the two boxers on the undercard, though the Brooklyn Daily Eagle of the day described the short fight colorfully. |
