The night was something ~ a contrast
90 the thriller between Mcmahon and
Burke. Mcmahon didn't start with
much OF n Wild rush. McKinnon stood
straight up. like Johnny Summers. In
an awkward way. and was anything
but agile In his movements. Mcmahon
had little direction In his punches. Nc
Kinnon tucked untl hfs hair nearly
brushed the floor every timc the Bear
cat led, and then either Jumped away

II was evident before the rEht had
gone more than a couple 90 rounds
that McKinnon had heard about No
Mahon's wallop. and that he didn't care
e. act as chief punching bag. lie was
exceedingly cautious. Mcmahon landed
a few good punches In tho body. and
tho New England champion didn't like
the raff a little bit. lie had an apollo
getic smile every time he was hit.
In the NTH round McKinnon was hit
hard In the stomach. and he tried 10
claim n foul. Mcmahon was swinging
wildly. which gave some color 20 the
claim, although none OF the spectators
saw any foul blow and. Once Referee
Patsy Haley stopped the bout for n
moment and lectured Mcmahon about
hitting low. after which the two touched
gloves and went at Il again. II Nj

Mahon had landed one foul blow, at
least. to disqualify him. \ moment later
Mckinnon walked out TO his dressing
room. apparently not much the worse
for his experience. and standing On n
table dressed himself quickly. A ma
