Dempsey Routs Luttrell In Short Ring Comeback

ATLANTA July 2 The 45 year old former heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey knocked out Clarence Luttrell in four minutes 58 seconds in a controversial comeback bout. Luttrell weighed 224 pounds and was largely defenseless as Dempsey at 205 pounds delivered power in haymakers. The crowd of about 10 000 grossed 15000 dollars. Luttrell sustained a broken nose cuts and a nearly closed eye and was taken to a hospital where his condition was listed as good. Dempsey said he needs more work and would consider a longer return depending on how he feels after further training.
