- -I listened to the Patterson/Liston and Ali/Liston first fight, great stuff for an elementary school kid.

I'd be interested in remembering how I knew the radio station that might be broadcasting them? Could be I discovered an AM broadcast out of Chicago that on a good day made into Texas.

They say on a clear cold night you could hear WABC New York AM in the Carolinas.

But 77 on the dial, WABC, came into existence before the FCC and was grandfathered in, allowed to broadcast with a wattage that dominates 1/4th of the AM radio dial. So Chicago to Texas sure just need a clear-cold night.

I am an idiot I could only find a sports quiz show when trying to search Dempsey-Tunney ? Where does one search?

I listened to Dempsey Tunney this morning. Took me a little while to get used to the style of the broadcast...but then it really started cooking.

Made it sound like Dempsey was really getting beat up. Out on his feet in the end.

- -All I really remember about radio then was when I finally got my own transistor radio with ear buds, I would take it to school to listen to the Indy 500 qualifying and World Series, but always in stealth mode. The teachers would confiscate if caught, but being sneaky beyond my squeaky clean cut demeanor, I was never caught out.

Little dude picked up Chicago quite often as well as Wolfman Jack's Mexican border broadcasts where I could order Goat testicles for implanting and other invaluable manly items of interest, but being a kid, I was only interested in the music and Jack's crazy presentations.

Joe Louis' Schmeling rematch was relayed around the world for hundreds of millions that included Martin Luther King and Mandela who as young kids got their first glimpse of a real life, flesh and blood black hero overcoming nefarious black stereotypes of the day. Well before my time, but my brother's father in law who was well to do in his 70s by then had been a 10 yr old bicycle newspaper delivery boy for the black side of town during early AM hours. A gang of black teens then infuriated over Schmeling KOing Louis in their first fight were roaming around looking for a white victim when they surrounded him spitting venom, but the leader soon figured beating up a helpless kid wasn't going to do them any favors, so they released him intact but wiser to the ways of the world, and what a story he had for the rest of his life.

The Dempsey Tunney bout ringside broadcast is very interesting. As of round 7, that’s 70% of the fight done, both fighters were unmarked aside from red welts on Tunneys body. It was only the last three rounds where Tunney cut Dempsey over one eye and in the end closed one eye and nearly the other.

The announcers accurately described Dempsey side stepping around Tunney rather than aggressively boring in.

If you use the audio counter - the crowd reacts to the KD at 19:51 and the announcer yells 'Tunney is up' at 20:11 -- you can hear him say, a moment before, (I think he says) 'the count is eight.'

The editor for the webpage doesn't know boxing. He has the fight listed as 'Tunney TKO over Dempsey'

The guy who wrote it must have just enough knowledge to be ******, likely thinking that all championship fights are suppose to be 15 rounds so therefore Dempsey must have lost by TKO if the fight stopped after 10 rounds.

I am sure multiple seconds are lost during the verbal announcement of the knockdown. The time Tunney was on the canvas has been measured multiple times most notably in a book that examined filmed sports controversies. Tunney was down 14.5 seconds.

The audio broadcasts come from a database of old radio recordings. I doubt they were added by anyone who follows the sport.

Louis it sounds was given a good fight by Red Burman. The crowd was going wild. It’s a shame the film of this bout does not appear to exist. Louis was having his hands full until a right to the heart ended it.
