der to shoulder tactics without result

fought their way to the center of the
ring, where Cans planted vicious
right TO the kidneys. In a clinch Mel
son sent hard drive to Cans face
and they exchanged uppercuts TO the
jaw, Nelson giving as much as he re-
ceived. After Cans had started the
blood from Nelson's mouth with two
hard left punches, Nelson swung a hard
left to the jaw. which was the best
blow he had landed during the fight.

his corner. Cans Will probably not last
much longer.

favorite short arm right and left
swings. which had considerable force
behind them. Nelson scarcely landed a
blow and Cans smiled as he covered

Cans lightning left. Nelson then sur
prised the champion with hard right
to the face. Cans landed vicious

little attempt to land. Nelson swung
his left to the jaw. but Cans countered
