The crusade against the kidney
blow which was started in England
directly as a result of the recent
Welsh-Driscoll battle, has reached
such a stage that it is probable that
English referees in future will be in
structed to disqualify pugilists who
use this palpably unfair blow. There
is much opposition to the kindey blow
in this country, too, although the fight
promoters have not as yet taken up
the matter.
