II was not the beating that a champion

almost took the count himself when in

tore after his man at this stage, but
he was too eager and his swings were
wild. permitting Kaufman TO stall and
keep out of any further danger until

beating, but he could not get over his
heavy right for a knockout Ross was

split his lip open and cut his right eye.
