Gene Tunney is “robbed” of a heavyweight championship by the infamous “long count” in the seventh round of his fight with Jack Dempsey;
the year is……………….. ❓

[englandboy – John]

1927. Tunney wasn`t robbed. Or did I get the wrong fight?

……….Dempsey was not accustomed to the new rule which stated that the standing fighter must go to a neutral corner, and stood ready to pounce once Tunney stood up. It was several seconds before Ref Dave Barry got Dempsey to a neutral corner, then he started the count. An estimated 17 seconds passed between the knockdown and when Tunney stood, giving him precious time to recover his senses. He was able to stall and clinch his way through the round, and was fully alert by round 8, when he even knocked Dempsey down. Tunney held off his final onslaughts and gained the decision, keeping his Championship in a fight still discussed today because of “The Long Count.”

On the 1st January **** the coronation of Charles II took place at Scone. This was to be the last occasion a monarch was crowned in Scotland. However, Charles was not restored to the throne until after the death of Cromwell in 1660.
