		Carpentier was a strong man with a decent chin, but during that opening round he must have realised he was in way over his head.
		Dempsey's demolition of Carpentier, who had the not particularly intimidating nickname 'The Orchid Man', continued apace through the next three rounds and by the beginning of the fourth the Frenchman's face was visibly bruised and he was breathing heavily.
		Carpentier's resolve visibly weakened under the ferocious flurries of punches that the Manassa Mauler was firing off, and inevitably he succumbed, sinking, almost gratefully, to the canvass following a particularly sweet hook.

	Georges Carpentier versus Gene Tunney Fight Description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		- Crying and sobbing, apparently in horrible agony, Georges Carpentier lost to Gene Tunney, American light heavyweight champion, in the fifteenth round of a fight in which the Frenchman was unable to continue because of a terrific blow which he claimed landed too low.
		It came in the middle of the fourteenth round when Georges, who had gone down several times in the tenth, was making one of the most gallant comebacks ever seen in an American prize ring.
		Then, when the time came for the start of the fifteenth round, and Carpentier was obviously in no shape to continue, the fight was awarded to Tunney after four seconds of the fifteenth round.

	The Swift Rise and Fall of Battling Siki
		The light heavyweight champion at that time was Georges Carpentier, and with the call rising for the French hero to return to home soil to defend his title for the first time in three years, the search went up for a “safe” opponent to make a triumphant return for Carpentier.
		Carpentier took a thorough beating over the next two rounds, bloodied and bruised by headshots, and weakened by a steady body attack.
		Carpentier's manager, Francois Descamps, would not let the defeat die though, and he appealed Siki's win on September 26, claiming that his man had been fouled, an appeal that was denied two days later.

	The Lawless Decade By Paul Sann
		Dempsey said he'd be a fighting champion, but he defended his title only five times in seven years: against Georges Carpentier in 1921, Elizar Rioux in 1922, Tommy Gibbons and Luis Firpo in 1923, and Gene Tunney in 1926.
		Rickard's view of the beautiful challenger happened to be less bearish than that of George Bernard Shaw, who called him "the greatest boxer in the world" and made him a 50-1 favorite against Dempsey on the strength of his victory over Joe Beckett, the English champion.
		Carpentier landed with a right in the second and some of the boxing journalists hailed it as a "staggering" blow but H.L. Mencken, sitting among all the perfumed ladies at ringside, counted twenty-five hard punches by Dempsey in one thirty-second exchange after he had supposedly been hurt.

		Carpentier's manager, Francois "General" Deschamps, attended Siki's June 1922 win over Marcel Nilles and decided Siki was a "safe" opponent for his champion.
		Carpentier (173 1/2 pounds), fighting on French soil for the first time in three years, was a heavy favorite against Siki, and his popularity produced the first million franc gate in French boxing history.
		Carpentier even told his manager and trainer after the first round "I'll get him whenever I want to." But Siki (174 lbs), using his trademark "windmill" style, sent Georges to the canvas late in the third, and from that point on, he controlled the contest.

		When Willard didn't come out for the fourth round, he had four teeth missing, his eyes were closed, his nose was smashed and two ribs were cracked.
		Wily promoter Tex Rickard saw the fight as "hero" against "villain." The "hero" was the Frenchman, the light-heavyweight champion who had distinguished himself as a pilot in World War I. The "villain" was Dempsey, who was labeled a "slacker" even though he was found not guilty in 1920 after being indicted for draft evasion.
		On Sept. 14, 1923, Dempsey had a slugfest with Luis Firpo, a 216-pounder from Argentina who was called "the Wild Bull of the Pampas." Firpo's first punch was a thunderous right to the jaw that put the champ down.
