Failing to withdraw to a neutral corner, as a new rule required after knockdowns, Dempsey inadvertently allowed Tunney perhaps 14 seconds to defog his head in the seventh round and go on to outpoint Jack for a second time. "The best thing that ever happened to both of us was the long count," Dempsey said a few years...
