The best-poSted man on Pugilistlc mat
,ers In Seattle is Prof. Jack Green, of the
Seattle Athletic Club lie has been IN
many a hard fight. and is therefore in u
position 10 pick out points that Would
be overlooked by the person who taxes
ordinary interest in pugilists and their
sioingx. Following is an Interview Win
PROF. Green on the FitzSimmons-Sharkey
Eight:
Judging from the newspaper accounts
of the FTtzsimmons-Sharkey fight and
your knowledge of the ring, do you think
that everything was square,.
II do not care 10 express my personal
views. as / am not In a position 10 Judge
accurately" said Prof. Green.
Would il have been possible for FitZ-
simmons TO strike Sharkey in the groin
with his knee as he fellT
The public al large does not have an
accurate idea of how men fan when
knocked out. 1t would have been pos
sible for Sharkey TO nave come In con-
fact with F9tzsimmons' knee when he fell.
Fftzsimmons. in knocking out Sharkey,
used what is called the left-hand nook
punch That is a blow that IS used by
an the best pugilists. and Is started just
the same as left-hand shoulder blow.
only that before landing you crook the
arm and land on the Jaw. Your arm
passes over your opponents arm. In de.
aivering the blow you raise yourself up
on the left foot and come in close 70 your
man. This brings your knee up close in,
so that II the man fell quickly forward
he might strike your knee. IL clean
Knockout blow is delivered the man fails
forward instead OF backward. as many
people believe. Many times when man
is dazed he win stagger and fan sideways
or backward,
.sDia vou ever hear OF a referee decIar-
ing a foul after A clean knockout blow
had been delivered? This question IS
asked on the assumption that F1tzsim-
mons hook blow brought about clean
knockout and that the alleged foul OF
Fitzsirnmons' had nothing 10 do with put
ting sharkey out OF the fight"
II never heard of a referee giving a
