It must be said. however. that Brock put up q game battle. Once he was hit low though not low enough for foul. It got his goat and he wanted to quit But he stuck with it and lasted the full eight. though weak ening under the scientific rushes of the other man. In the eighth he was knocked down twice, each time with solid short swings to the side of the head. Each time his aching jaw dag
