Firpo Knocks Out Willard in Eighth Round to Challenge Dempsey
Luis Firpo from Argentina defeated Jess Willard of Kansas in the eighth round before a record crowd in New York. Firpo rushed Willard to the ropes with furious blows and a right to the jaw sent the former champion to his knees, the referee counting to ten as Willard collapsed again and could not rise. Firpo's victory sets up talk of a championship bout with Jack Dempsey, with promoter Tex Rickard already planning the terms. Willard left the ring in silence after the knockout, while Dempsey remained the target of ongoing negotiations.
