"Jack Sharkey and referee 'Gunboat' Smith shared credit today for providing the finest heavyweight fight since Jack Dempsey's unforgettable brawl with Luis Firpo. Sharkey did his part by thrashing Primo Carnera over a 15 round bout at Ebbets Field last night, and doing it so decisively that the "super man" myth surrounding the Italian was dissipated. However, had it not been for Smith, the fight would have ended in the 4th round with Sharkey winning on a technicality and 30,000 spectators robbed of the contest they paid $100,000 to witness. Sharkey, leading from the start and punishing his foe at will, floored the 261 lb. Italian with a smashing left hook to the jaw in the 4th. Primo was confused when he got off his back and on his knees. He pulled erect at the count of six, but hearing the shouts of his seconds urging him to take advantage of a full count he dropped back to his knees. Sharkey and his manager, Johnny Buckley shouted protests to Smith, claiming the bout on a foul because Primo went down without being hit--a rule violation punishable by DQ. Primo got up again, dropped to his knees a second time as Sharkey rushed forward, and finally came up at the count of eight. Smith urged Sharkey forward, but Jack ran to his corner and attempted to jump through the ropes. Sharkey then waived the foul claim and went back to fight. Encouraged by the knowledge that Carnera could be hurt, Sharkey blasted away with jolting left hooks to the head and body and went on to win as he pleased. The 15th was Sharkey's best round. He landed a terrific left hook to the chin as the round opened and for the remainder of the session drove Carnera about the ring." -United Press
