 Several telegraphed reports received the day after the fight as well as the detailed written account by the reliable "Brooklyn Daily Eagle" confirm this account and it appears to be accurate.Published years later, the "Police Gazette" did not make mention of Hyer holding Sullivan around the head, but did accurately note that the fight ended after Hyer threw Sullivan to the ground at the end of the 15th and fell on top of him.When Hyer stood up, it was clear, Sullivan could not continue.
