The Long Count Fight, or the Battle of the Long Count, was a professional boxing 10-round rematch between world heavyweight champion Gene Tunney and former champion Jack Dempsey, which Tunney won in a unanimous decision. It took place on September 22, 1927, at Soldier Field in Chicago. "Long Count" is applied to the fight because when Tunney was knocked down in the seventh round the count was delayed due to Dempsey's failure to go to and remain in a neutral corner. Whether this "long count" actually affected the outcome remains a subject of debate.

| - Le Long Count Fight, ou le Combat du compte long en français, est un combat de boxe anglaise opposant le champion du monde des poids lourds Gene Tunney et l'ancien champion Jack Dempsey. Il s'agit de la revanche du premier combat que Tunney a remporté à l'unanimité. Il a eu lieu le 22 septembre 1927 au Soldier Field de Chicago. Le terme de Long Count est utilisé pour ce combat car lorsque Tunney a été envoyé au tapis au septième round, le décompte a été retardé en raison du temps mis par Dempsey pour se rendre dans un coin neutre. Le fait que ce long décompte ait réellement affecté le résultat du combat reste un sujet de débat, Tunney ayant déclaré avoir pris le plus de temps possible pour se relever bien qu'il aurait pu le faire plus tôt.

- Long Count Fight, o Battle of the Long Count ("il match dal lungo conteggio"), è stato l'incontro di pugilato Gene Tunney vs. Jack Dempsey, rivincita tra i due per il titolo di campione mondiale dei pesi massimi. Si svolse il 22 settembre 1927 al Soldier Field di Chicago. L'appellativo "Long Count" ("lungo conteggio") è stato dato al match in quanto Tunney fu messo al tappeto da Dempsey nel corso del settimo round, ma il conteggio da parte dell'arbitro partì in ritardo perché Dempsey non si era recato all'angolo neutrale rimanendo vicino all'avversario al tappeto, nonostante questo fosse il regolamento in vigore. Il ritardo, permise a Tunney di rialzarsi e, in seguito, di vincere il match ai punti per decisione unanime mantenendo così la cintura di campione. Se questo "conteggio lungo" abb (it)

- The Long Count Fight, or the Battle of the Long Count, was a professional boxing 10-round rematch between world heavyweight champion Gene Tunney and former champion Jack Dempsey, which Tunney won in a unanimous decision. It took place on September 22, 1927, at Soldier Field in Chicago. "Long Count" is applied to the fight because when Tunney was knocked down in the seventh round the count was delayed due to Dempsey's failure to go to and remain in a neutral corner. Whether this "long count" actually affected the outcome remains a subject of debate. Just 364 days before, on September 23, 1926, Tunney had beaten Dempsey by a ten round unanimous decision to lift the world heavyweight title, at Sesquicentennial Stadium in Philadelphia. The first fight between Tunney and Dempsey had been moved out of Chicago because Dempsey had learned that Al Capone was a big fan of his, and he did not want Capone to be involved in the fight. Capone reportedly bet $50,000 on Dempsey for the rematch, which fueled false rumors of a fix. Dempsey was favored by odds makers in both fights, largely because of public betting which heavily tilted towards Dempsey. The rematch was held at Chicago's Soldier Field, and would draw a gate of $2,658,660 (equivalent to $41,474,000 in 2021). It was the first $2 million gate in entertainment history. Despite the fact that Tunney had won the first fight by a wide margin on the scorecards, the prospect of a second bout created tremendous public interest. Dempsey was one of the so-called "big five" sports legends of the 1920s, and it was widely rumored that he had refused to participate in the military during World War I. He actually had attempted to enlist in the Army, but had been turned down; a jury later exonerated Dempsey of draft evasion. Tunney, who enjoyed literature and the arts, was a former member of the United States Marine Corps. His nickname was The Fighting Marine. The fight took place under new rules regarding knockdowns: the fallen fighter would have 10 seconds to rise to his feet under his own power, after his opponent moved to a neutral corner (i.e., one with no trainers). The new rule, which was not yet universal, was asked to be put into use during the fight by the Dempsey camp, who had requested it during negotiations. Dempsey, in the final days of training prior to the rematch, apparently ignored the setting of these new rules. Also, the fight was staged inside a 20-foot ring, which favored the boxer with superior footwork, in this case Tunney. Dempsey liked to crowd his opponents, and normally fought in a 16-foot ring that offered less space to maneuver. (en)
