“Book Descriptions: New York, 1923, the Argentine boxer, Luis Angel Firpo, called the wild bull of the Pampas, knocks out of the ring the American Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world. On the same night in Buenos Aires, Richard Strauss conducts a performance of Mahler's First Symphony at the Teatro Colón. Dempsey is out of the ring for seventeen seconds but is allowed by the US referee to get back in. During these seconds in a Buenos Aires hotel, a Viennese cellist is found hanging from a light fixture.
In the second round, Dempsey knocks Firpo out and retains his crown. Once again victory is stolen from the Argentinians by their more powerful neighbours and they are left to lick their wounds.” DRIVE
