    that wouldn't have happened because the ref was bribed, the Neutral corner was in affect but thats not why the ref didn't start counting that was just a later excuse

        tunney never really fought any hw's before he fought dempsey. that might be the reason.
        Johnny Risko and Tommy Gibbons were two top heavyweights that Tunney beat before he fought Dempsey.
