and some of the hardest punchers the
lightweight division has produced. He
wore down his opponents by mis- ag-

fighting spirit.
No matter how hard and how often
Nelson was hit, he always kept boring
in. He would never falter for a sin
gle minute. Consequently he tired
out his opponents and caused them to

that the Dane ultimately landed a
dream wallop.

round clash here with Al Palzer and
to-day plans are being made to send

finding them foundering around without

rounds of the ten were in his favor.
Each man weighed in at 22O pounds. 4

Palzer but the blows failed to prevent
