Sullivan went down to defeat before James J. Corbett, there have been 24 heavyweight championship battles and only twice has the crown changed hands on a referee's decision. i The first time, Marvin Hart, to whom the honors had been given by James J. Jeffries on his retirement, lost to Tommy Burns in 20 rounds at Los Angeles in 1906. Twenty years later, Jack Dempsey lost his title to Gene Tun- ney after ten rounds, by the decision of the referee and two judges. .
