p0aed az lcrHea'n wonderful improve
Wfuts Ito proved himself more SCI

" ! were asked what made Fitz-
slmmona lose, I would say simply JEFF

~ and VIII defend his title. The nght
Itself showed tho evident fact that a
very clever man at l61 pounds IN no
match for very clever man at 2l0.
u had no idea that no big man as
Jsnries could be 10 fast I was not less
hnipHsed az his gameneas. In the sew
'hlh and eighth rounds, when things
looked bad for Jenrles he came back
quickly. The severe punishment seemed
70 whet HE appetite rather than 10
Encourage him. The first few rounds
81 the nght, barring tho first knock
down, were Fitzslmmoua'a. Almost
every man can come back after "a de-
feat, lie Is SIN mlddleWeght cham
nlon Of the world"
