I'm the old days. the preparation for a
fight occupied but little of a mans time.
There was not so much sQuahhling
about weight. referees. division of the
purse. and the Ike. The principal thing
was TO fight and win as soon as possible.
There were no limited contests. SO thar

When a man wins fight he hikes cN
