weight had they landed. and II was
wonderful how he did 1t.
The contest was a hot one from the
outset and both men fought faster and
better than they did when they met be-
fore. 'Corbett' was in much better
shape and boxed splendldly and was
no doubt surprised 60 find Briggs so
willing at times to be the aggressor.
There were several red-hot ciinches and
when the men were together they
banged away at a terrific rate and
really Briggs had the better of the close
fighting. He Is a very strong. tough
lad. but lacks speed.
The sixth round was much In Brlggs's
favor and he landed a few body blows
hat did no good, Many times did
"Corbett" iand on the right and left
jaw. but there was always a little
something there 10 stop the full force
OF the punch. Up to this round the
men boxed like beavers, and 1t was in
this round that Briggs's body blows did
the best execution. After this the men
were a little tired and often boxed and
kept away TO get a breathing spell. .
"Corbett" Tired at the End.
IL was a great, n most satisfactory
bout n the worlds champion was the
most tired at the end. As said before,
| the de cision went to "Corbett' on
points. but the glory OF the contest went
to Briggs. and his reputation was added
to.
'"Young Corbett" agrees that Briggs is
a very tough customer and cheerfulIy
