It launched what promises to be a successful season for a new promoting organization, 20th Century Sporting Club Inc., run by Tex Rickard's onetime right-hand man, Mike Jacobs, in opposition to Madison Square Garden Corp. which Rickard founded. It caused twelve deaths from excitement. Adolf Hitler congratulated the winner. What made the fight remarkable...
