THE GREAT JOHN SULLIVAN INTRODUCED THE KNOCKOUT BLOW IN BOXING

By DENNIS HART

So

Tom Scannel was top dog of Boston's boxing world in the late 1870's. when, during a show at the tocal Opera House, he declared he would take on anyone In the house and stop him in three rounds he was thought to be on a good thing, even though the audience included a brawny young lad by the name of Sullivan.
