 Dempsey - Firpo World heavyweight championship First round
Dempsey - Firpo World heavyweight championship First round
The world heavyweight champion faces the Argentine bull in the defense of his world heavyweight title, September 14, 1923 at the Polo Grounds in New York. Jack Dempsey comes free from a historic first round before retaining his title in the next recovery. This round will help establish the rule of the neutral corner. World champion heavyweight since his victory over his compatriot Jeff Willard, July 4, 1919, and idol in his country, American Jack Dempsey wrote a new chapter in his legend, 14 September 1923 at the Polo Grounds in New York .
Tex Rickard, the promoter, requires it to confront Luis Angel Firpo, which he called "the Bull of the Pampas." The Argentine is 1.90 m and weighs 98 kg when it comes against the world champion, lighter (87 kg), before 82,000 spectators. And the shock is explosive!
The unthinkable happens after only thirty seconds of combat. Dempsey is driven between the strings. "When he touched me on the chin and I came across the ring, I thought that the time had come for the defeat," confessed the day after Jack Dempsey fight. But it goes on the ring with the help of journalists without which there would surely have lost his title. "When I found myself in the ring, I thought there auvais twenty Firpo in front of me." His response was phenomenal, however. It sends the South American ground seven times before undergoing a new knock-down at the end of round. The recovery remains as one of the most violent in the history of boxing.
It will encourage the officials of the commission from New York to establish the rule of the neutral corner. The boxer from his opponent to knock-down will now have to wait pending a sign of recovery of the referee.
During the minute of rest, Dr. Kearns, coach of defending champion, jumped into the ring and shouted to his protege: "Jack finished it, and quickly". From the bell, Dempsey is more than ever unleashed and Firpo makes weapons after 57 seconds and three trips to the mat on left hooks. "I won this fight by KO, as I hope, will tell the great Jack. But I must say that I never knew a difficult moment in my career." Thierry Raynal

Dempsey - Firpo Championnat du monde des lourds 1er round
Le champion du monde des lourds est confronté au taureau argentin lors de la défense de son titre mondial des poids lourds, le 14 septembre 1923 au Polo Grounds de New York. Jack Dempsey sort indemne d'une première reprise historique avant de conserver son titre dans la reprise suivante. Ce round permettra d'instaurer la règle du coin neutre. Champion du monde des poids lourds depuis sa victoire sur son compatriote Jeff Willard, le 4 juillet 1919, et véritable idole dans son pays, l'Américain Jack Dempsey écrit une nouvelle page de sa légende, le 14 septembre 1923 au Polo Grounds de New York.
Tex Rickard, son promoteur, lui impose d'affronter Luis Angel Firpo, qu'il baptise "le Taureau de la Pampa". L'Argentin mesure 1,90 m et pèse 98 kg lorsqu'il se présente face au champion du monde, moins lourds (87 kg), devant 82 000 spectateurs. Et le choc est explosif !
L'impensable se produit après seulement trente secondes de combat. Dempsey est propulsé entre les cordes. "Lorsqu'il m'a touché au menton et que je suis tombé du ring, j'ai bien cru que l'heure de la défaite était arrivée", avouera Jack Dempsey le lendemain du combat. Mais il remonte sur le ring avec l'aide des journalistes sans lesquels il aurait sûrement perdu son titre. "Lorsque je me suis retrouvé sur le ring, j'ai cru qu'il y auvais une vingtaine de Firpo devant moi." Sa réaction est pourtant phénoménale. Il envoie le Sud-Américain à sept reprises au sol avant de subir un nouveau knock-down en fin de round. Cette reprise reste comme l'une des plus violentes de l'histoire de la boxe.
Elle incitera les officiels de la commission de New York à instaurer la règle du coin neutre. Le boxeur venant de mettre son adversaire knock-down devra désormais y patienter dans l'attente d'un signe de reprise de l'arbitre.
Pendant la minute de repos, le Docteur Kearns, entraîneur du champion en titre, bondit sur le ring en criant à son protégé: "finis-le Jack, et vite !". Au son du gong, Dempsey est plus que jamais déchaîné et Firpo rend les armes après 57 secondes et trois autres voyages au tapis sur des crochets gauches. "J'ai gagné ce combat par KO, comme je l'espèrais, racontera le grand Jack. Mais je dois dire que je n'ai jamais connu un moment aussi difficile durant toute ma carrière." Thierry Raynal
