first round and could only push it into Attell's face when he half clinched, though he did damage with his strong right throughout the bout. Kilbane landed a storm of punches in the second round. Attell fought very aggressively and got in left slams to the body as well as stiff counterpunches to Kilbane's face. On December 3, 1912, losing to Kilbane in a ninth-round technical knockout in Cleveland, Ohio, Attell was down more than six times before the police ordered the bout stopped to prevent a knockout. Kilbane became the aggressor in the second round and for much of the remainder of the bout, Attell had to cover up to save himself from Kibane's fierce attack. In a well publicized match, Attell lost to Al Delmont on April 12, 1911 in a twelve-round points decision in Boston. In the first two rounds, Delmont gained a considerable lead with lefts and rights to the face, but in the next seven rounds, Delmont clinched often, while Attell shot his left to the face and body and his right to the ribs. Delmont occasionally got his right to Attell's face and landed right counters. With jabs and right crosses to the face and jaw, Delmont, showing his old form, earned a sufficient points margin in the eleventh and twelfth, to gain the popular decision. In a close bout, Attell again lost to Delmont in a twelve-round points decision on April 18, 1911 in the Arena in Boston. In a very close and hard-fought bout, Delmont did considerable jabbing, and Attell went to the body often with both hands. The eleventh round saw Delmont taking the lead, and in the twelfth his more aggressive fighting won him the very close decision. Sometime in 1914, Attell incurred an eye injury that became infected, and eventually resulted in a loss of sight in the eye. Future world bantamweight champion, Joe Lynch (boxer) knocked out Attell in the seventh round of a scheduled ten round bout at the Pioneer Sporting Club on September 5, 1916 in East Liverpool, Ohio. Lynch would hold the world bantamweight championship in the early 1920s. Attell was down in the first round. Attell lost to Young Zulu Kid on June 24, 1916 in a ten-round newspaper decision of the New York Evening Telegram at the Fairmont Athletic Club in the Bronx. Despite a significant reach advantage over the diminutive Italian boxer,
