were almost criminal in allowing me
to continue.
L respectfully argue that Corbett was
several thousand miles from the ring
when I was lighting 1 have nothing
but praise for the men in my corner.
and / am the man most interested Let
Corbett recall the fact that at Gold
field Cans marked and cut and beat
me worse than Wolgast did, yet 1 al
ways was ready with a final kick, and
I landed that kick in the forty second
round. In my fight with Hanlon | Was
beaten almost to a pulp. yet I stopped
Hanlon in the nineteenth round
In my second night with Young Cor
bett he broke one of my ribs in the
fourth round, and still / knocked him
out in the ninth. In my battle with
Canole. hundreds of people left the
building early in the fight thinking L
would be murdered. Yet I won by
knocking out Canole in the eighteenth.
The legitimate criticism from the
ringside came from thousands who had
seen me before. They declared that
Referee Eddie Smith acted too hastily
in stopping the bout. and that had I
been allowed to continue, I would have
stood more than an even chance to
knock out WOlgast.
Corbett himself was fighter. Sup
pose somebody had wanted to toss the
sponge into the ring when he was
hghting that historic battle with Peter
Jackson? Many times in that fight
Corbett was in deep trouble and looked
a sure loser. But he fought on gamely.
just as I was fighting against Wolgast.
That battle was the turning point in
his great career Had his seconds
thrown up the sponge Corbett might
never have been the heavy weight
champion.
