and now weighs $50 pounds. He will enter the

he is going to make it the fight of his life, and
he seems to realize how very important it is for
him to win. He says that he did not do his
best with Mart Fahey two weeks ago, for the
reason that Cardiff was present and he did not

he confidently expects to do, he says he will
