April 24, 1920 -- Boston Garden: Mickey Walker, the popular MW prospect, put his perfect 7-0 record on the line in an 8-rounder against veteran TC Buddy Jeffers. Given that Jeffers had yet to win in seven prior trips to the ring, he was expected to offer little resistance to the talented Walker.

Round one, Walker opens the action by landing a short uppercut in close. Jeffers counters with a big hook. Walker swings and misses with a roundhouse punch full of bad intentions. Jeffers is an inviting target, and Walker lands a series of combinations to both the head and the body. Jeffers goes down but is up at the count of two. Walker's killer instinct kicks in and he tries to finish matters by trapping Jeffers in the corner, but the bell sounds with Buddy still on his feet. Still, a huge round one for Mickey.

Second round, Walker quickly moves inside and nails Jeffers with a right to the jaw. Jeffers misses with a left and a right. Walker backs his man into a neutral corner but is short with his jab. Jeffers lands with a weak counter. Walker misses with a hook but finds the range with a straight right. The ref, Artie Donovan, warns Walker for a low blow. Walker backs up and lands a tremendous shot that sends Jeffers to the canvas for the second time. This happens right before the bell, which can't save him. So Jeffers is counted out; it goes down as a KO for Walker at 3:00 of round two.

Walker now moves to 8-0 (all 8 by KO), and only one opponent has lasted beyond two rounds. He now has 489 PPs.

Walker will take a brief hiatus before returning to the ring in August. Look for one or two more 8-rounders before he moves up to the longer 10-round bouts.
