O'Dowd won the title on November 14, 1917, by knocking out Al McCoy in the sixth round after dropping him six times.[2] O'Dowd was the only active boxing champion to fight at the front during World War I (1918, while serving in the U.S. Army).[3] During his career he claimed victories over Hall of Famers Jack Britton, Mike Gibbons, Kid Lewis and Jeff Smith. On February 25, 1918, he held the legendary Harry Greb to a draw.[2] O'Dowd was knocked out just once in his career, his last fight on March 16, 1923.[4]
O'Dowd died on July 28, 1957, from a heart attack at a Veteran's hospital, aged 62.[5] He was inducted into the Minnesota Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2014.[6]
