From the pages of The Montreal Star"...Sam Langford totally dominated Joe Jeannette in their 12 round contest with the Halifax fighter punishing the local man so badly the referee had to step in and stop the fight and award the victory to Langford....Big upset at Coaltown as Bob Day the "Battling Bobby" scored a technical knockout of Johnny Jackson to win the Canadian heavyweight championship....Referee Hugh MacNeil stopped the fight after Jackson's 4th trip to the canvas....Jackson was unable to overcome Day's advantages in size and strength as he was constantly bulled around the ring, leaned upon against the ropes and slammed with heavy blows to the body, some of which appeared to land below the equator....Later in the dressing room the former champ was unable to explain his poor performance but said he would ask his manager to arrange a rematch...This would seem to upset the promoter's plans to have Jackson fight American Al Kaufman in two weeks time...On the undercard Art Beaudoin stopped Kid Kelly of Philadelphia in five fast rounds...At Calgary George McRay beat fellow Albertan Clonie McFadden on points....In Halifax at the old forum, Joe Dundee (the former Vincenzo Ferrante of Worcester, Mass) knocked out Jack Stewart of Toronto in the seventh of ten rounds and James 'Sailor Burke' kayoed American import Dan Wallace in four....At Winnipeg's Orpheum Danny Whitebear sent veteran Fred Morris into retirement with a clean knockout in round seven....At Detroit Marvin Hart won in convincing fashion over Canada's Ross Delaney with a ten round decision and Kid Williams of New Brunswick KO'd Frank Craig in four in their 10 round semi windup....
