Dempsey Carpentier Bout Highlighted by Tunney Tale
Gene Tunney recounts in a magazine piece that Georges Carpentier landed a repeated straight right on Dempsey in the 1920s championship bout, slowing the champion enough for Tunney to study and later imitate the move. The article also cites notes on the biblical Lily of the Field and a claim about a dwarfing tree by Lee Nelson, drawn from The Coming of the Flowers and American Forests respectively.
