Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1900-12-08

This talk about a 'corkscrew
punch" said Bob Fitzsimmons a few
days ago. makes me laugh. I've read
often about this and that fighter. in
Guiding myself. inventing new blows
and have been much amused. But the
funniest yarn of all is that which tells
us that a fighter of renown has invent
ed a 'corkscrew punch
LAS a matter of fact. a fighter when
engaged in a hard contest does not
think of fancy blows. IN the contrary,
he looks for an opening for any good
wallop that he can put in. A heavy
swing or a stiff jolt is effective enough
to suit all purposes. In all my fights
I've never used any thing else. 1t is
just a case of when to send in a hard
mash and how to land it.. If anybody
tells YOU that a fighter has time to try
'corkscrew' or a .zig-zag' you can bet
all the one in the world that he's
kidding. Nobody ever tried such a
punch on me, and if he did I'd soon
knock his head off. because he'd be too
much occupied thinking about the blow
to bother himself with me.
Now and hen l hear that a fighter
has invented a new blow. l see the
punch illustrated and it looks formid-
dDle. but III pet q thousand QOllarS
to a red cent that when the fellow
gets into the ring he only knows how
to deliver the old-time swings and jabs.
When l lande on Corbett's solar pleXus
in Carson City they said it was a new
blow. Bosh! Why that was an ordin-
airy stomach punch that had been used
by fighters for years. 1t happened to
drop Corbett, and then we heard of the
solar pleXus for the first time.
If a fighter cannot hit, he's handi-
capped. A man may be exceptionally
clever, vet he ann win if unable to
punch. It's the punch. then, that wins
fights, and I believe I've demonstrated
this fact more than once. A pugilist
who can take a punch and give one
back is the man who has a chance to
work his way to the top. I like to
meet a man who thinks he can punch,
for then / can show him how much
harder | can hit. The hardest puncher
