Ted Lewis vs Georges Carpentier - Fightbuild-up Colorized

On 11th May 1922, professional boxers Georges Carpentier and Ted "Kid" Lewis competed in a match at the Olympia. It saw Carpentier successfully defend his World Light Heavyweight and EBU Heavyweight Titles by KO in controversial fashion, after taking advantage of a referee decision against Lewis. The bout is historic for being the first boxing match to be broadcast live on British radio.
The fight itself, which was hyped up across the UK, proved controversial.[3][7] Despite being 25 lbs lighter, it was actually the Kid who gained the upper hand, landing several blows on Carpentier in the first round.[3] However, Lewis was becoming overly-aggressive to referee Joe Palmer's liking, who held Lewis' shoulders to warn the Brit regarding excessive use of holding.[3] The Kid was momentarily distracted by protesting Palmer's call, allowing Carpentier to land a powerful right hook against his opponent.[3][7] Another right hook to the jaw proved a decisive enough blow for a KO victory, much to the displeasure of the crowd, who made accusations of "foul" during the radio broadcast.[3][7][9] However, Palmer felt the attack was within the rules of boxing, giving the Frenchman the victory after just 2:15 of action.
Lewis would later express frustration at how he lost, but remained cordial, stating "I felt cheated, but I didn't bear any grudge".[3] Dempsey, who was present at the Olympia but was busy signing autographs during the fight, noted "It was merely a matter of a game man against a good big man."[7] Carpentier would eventually lose his titles to Battling Siki a bout later on 24th September 1922.[1][2] He continued boxing until retiring in 1926.[1][2] Meanwhile, Lewis captured and held three simultaneous Welterweight titles, including the BBBofC, Commonwealth Boxing Council, and EBU European titles, on two separate occasions.[6][7] He would eventually retire in 1929, and has since been declared one of Britain's best ever boxers.[7][6] Elsewhere, Marconi followed up its sports coverage with a feature on the Boat Race, but it and other radio station operators would become restricted to just providing sports reports for several years, following pressure from the print media.[11][12][4][13][9] It would not be until 1927, when the BBC, which also incorporated 2MT and 2LO later in 1922, started regular live radio broadcasts of sporting events by covering the England-Wales rugby match on 15th January 1927.
