Benny Lynch goes down five times in his bout with Len 'Nipper' Hampston. Lynch is immediately disqualified when his second jumps into the ring in the fifth claiming a foul.

"Lynch had been discovered on the eve of the fight in such a state of intoxication his handlers tried to coerce the Hampston camp to fix the fight so the follow-up bout could have more meaning. Naturally the offer was refused and Benny suffered five rounds of torture, continuously being felled by body punches, which was a sure-fire indicator of his lax approach to preparation. The rematch sated some of the indignation Benny felt at the previous humiliation (Lynch won by 10th round tko)"

Len Wickwar from Leicester, England, who had a recorded professional record of 465 fights - still a world record to this day.

Entering this bout, Wickwar had not been stopped in his 82 previous fights. Since his last knockout defeat, Len had gone 72(41)-7-3. Wickwar would not be stopped again until nearly eight years later. Boon was his only stoppage defeat in a span of 91 competitive outings.
