Before he could recover Conley gave him
two vicious punches in the ribs and fol

and nose Conley has longer reach
than hagan and he stopped three hard
right hand swings. Both men fought
hard IN the third round and Hagan drew
blood from Conley's nose by two hard

When the seventh round opened both
men were apparently as fresh as at the

and caught him on the left jaw with
right hand swing. AS Conley staggered
against the wall, which formed one side
OF the ring, Hagan followed him up and
dealt him two more blows One was a
punch on the jugular and the other was
an uppercut, which knocked Conley out.
Conley fell to the floor and was uncon
scious for over ten seconds. When two
men lifted him to his feet he fell in
heap again. After Conley had recovered
Hagan offered to 60 on with the fight
again, but Conley said he had enough.
