jsi.reys Afraid Of HIS Own Slr:ngIh.

q
for the simple reason that | have
never found it necessary tc
knock my opponent clean out to
gain victory except on one OF
two occasions. Even in a fight
| believe a man can be humane,
and if the same results can be
obtained without endearing your
opponents life, then l think it is
better for all.
1t is true that most of my op-
ponents have been counted out,
being helpless and unable to con-
tinue the battle, yet they have
remained concious, The fact
that | have not knocked my men
out in a few rounds like most
fighters does not mean that
have been unable to finish my
victims sooner than / did.
Were | to put all my strength
and force at my command in an
effort to land a knockout blow,
| feel sure that would do con-
siderable damage. | honestly
believe that if | had hit any of
the men that have fought with
all the force possible, l would
have killed him.
| know my strength perfectly
well. and in none of my fights
have been required to try to do
my best l prefer to win my
battles on scientific lines, and
that is the reason | have allowed
my fights to last so long |
know that | am scientific enough
to beat down all of these clever
boxers. Were l simply depend
ing upon my strength to win
fights, then | would have to re.
sort to different tactics, and
would be more anxious town in
a hurry.
! am satisfied to win my bat
ties on points, and it makes little
difference to me whether the
contest goes the limit or not.
There have been a number of
fights which would have been
very brief affairs had it been my
desire to make quick work OF my
opponents.
There is not the least doubt
in my mind but that | could have
defeated Rubin. Fitzsimmons
or Corbett in less time had
been more aggressive and been
anxious to score a knockout.
To me there is nothing in q
knockout, only it brings victory
home sooner.
In neither Of the three fights
that / have named have my op
roncuts been Knocked out
