Joe Cans brought the solar piexus blow
Mcfarland at Fort Erie last Monday
evening with a riEht-hand punch Ia tho
NTH round. Accounts OF the battle show
Clearly that Cans IS In a class by himself
50 FAR as nghting ability goes. and that
he has an undisputel right 10 the light
weight championship.
Although Mcfarland was considered to
have a Nance in the tight and was backed
quite heavily at ) to =. Cans disposed OF him
in easy fashion. The me1 had met thrice
before. and as Mcfarland went twenty
rounds with Cans on one occasion. he wa
thought able 10 hold his own for a eovi
part OF the bout, at least Cans upset rle-c
ideas and won considerable money for those
who had bet at evens that he would dispose
OF Mcfarland within ten rounds. BY end
ing the battle Midway in the fifth.
Mcfarland put Up a game enough dght.
considering that his defeat was certain after
he had spared with Cans for the nrst
round After the inst exchanges II was
apparent that the negro held him safe and
the fight resolved Itself into a question OF
how long Mcfarland would last. he tried
often 10 land with his left swings. but
could never touch Cans.
Cans has developed greatly in cleverness
OF late and this was evidenced by his meth
cd OF fighting. Instead q merely Booking
McPart1ndS swings and hooks. he would
start q short-arm blow inside OF the IatteTs
leads. landing TO the BODY with a terrific
Jolt and stopping AcPartland's lead at tho
same. time The men weighed in at is
pounds.
While Cans has clearly improved OF late.
his showing In the battle was such IS 10
emphasize the farcical side OF his contest
with McGovern and to make Il appear more
certain than ever that that bout was not
what II should have been Cans put IN q
championship contest last Monday and won
with the greatest ease. Yet he aunarenrlv
went down before AcGovern IN two rounds.
There never was q zine when McGoyc-n's
ability would indicate that he could have
performed this feat on his merits:
As II stands at present. Cans seems 70
have about cleaned out the men IN his
class He is getting somewhat heavy. as
his overweight Monday evening shows. and
will probably have to take on heavier opr-1-
nents in the near future. He and Martin
Duny would make a magnificent match. as
Duny now fights at about rs OF 40 hounds
Cans could 90 this weight and put up a
fast bout that would be one OF the best
possible TO arrange in his class.
