Round l5-They at once mixed it.
Britt landing three lefts and a right to

the latter always came to the scratch
and 1t seemed that no amount of pun
ishment could stop him.
Round l6-Both were up quickly,
Nelson sending left to the face. They
clinched, Nelson using right uppercut
to the head. Britt missed most of his
blows and then shot his left hook to
the wind. Britt then hooked left in
Nelson's stomach and drove his right
to the head. Nelson weakened and
received two right and left smashes
to the ia wthat made him vince. Britt
was cutting Nelson's face mercilessly
as the gong rang.
Round 17-Both missed left for the
face. Nelson rushed Britt, but the
latter fought every step of the way,
swinging left twice to the Jaw, and
then hooked his left to the body. Mel.
son tried to get to close quarters m
Britt's corner and almost slipped to
his knees.

would be of short order and Nelson
went at Britt with vigor and knocked
him out in the early part Of the 18th
