said Mr.. Mcdonald. I'm England We

In America, you don't know anything
about II. Why. the way your fighters

out blow Is n heavy wallop delivered
with the push OF n battering ram.

blow Is a sharp. Earring blow. not a
crusher. or course some fighters can
deliver the crusher with a sudden snap
that gives It the deadening qualities.
Without that snap the heaviest punch
