One hundred years ago today, on 02-July-1921, heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey defended his title against French war hero Georges Carpentier. Dempsey was accused of being a slacker because he did not serve. Boyle's Thirty Acres was an arena built for this fight. It was used for other fights until it was torn down in 1927.

The ad for the forthcoming movie of the fight have to limit sales to New Jersey and Canada because US law forbade the interstate transportation of fight films.
