FIGHT BETWEEN FISHER AND NED STOCKMAN.
rot ...C5O, OP TUESSAT. is, 4.Aaressusae.
This match came off at Sankey. Chapel, near .Warrington,abol
an equal distance from Manchester and LiverpooL The crowd
collected on the occasion was immense. Fisher was the favourite
of the Liverpool fancy, and they betted their money freely on Mm
at 7 and 6 to 4, and even 10 to 5 was offered and Laken; just before
the men set to. On snipping, Irpher chewed good condition, and
had much the advantage in height, length, and weight, of SkoOk.-
man, who seemed, although in good health and spirit., to he very
light indeed. Fisher entered the ring Sr,st Ned soon followed, and
they were at work about a quarter past 12 o'clock. They Set off
with cautious sparring, cacti eager to find the'other out. Stockman
tried on his leaping hit. and came to a rally—they .elosed, and hod 1
a struggle for the fall, but notwithstanding Ned's art, the Provincial
one got the throw, and downed Stockman with a smash.
The fight lasted 40 minutes, in which 33 hard contested rounds
were fought, when Fisher was declared the victor. - A part of the
battle was contended in a truly slashing style. Stockman's general•
ship and fighting were as gond as ever, but Ned has lived too much
from home lately, which bas left hint a &deltaic, ha the meantime,
but perhaps a little more training would get up the 40 Lively
to make another trial, and prevent him retiring endreiy from the
ring a beaten man. .
