Dempsey vs Tunney
My favorite boxing book is Tunney, Boxing's Brainiest Champ and His Upset of the Great Jack Dempsey by Jack Cavanaugh. It goes into great detail about the Long Count and how his strategy of beating Dempsey was built over many years of planning. Tunney and Dempsey were polar opposites in most ways, which makes an interesting contrast of personalities. They became close friends after retirement.
The book is an awesome read and Tunney is anything but a typical fighter. Good luck in starting your boxing card collection. T218 and T220 are terrific sets. My favorite is 1951 Topps Ringside but, like Adam makes reference to in his book, where the heck is Dempsey?
