champion was substituted. ] went
cut and put In three weeks OF hard
training. II looked as II II was up TO
me 20 get over being lazy and do my
best, because had a big chance.
Il was all keyed up for this fight.
On the way to the ring Charlie Gold
man gave me some good advice. Hit
him as soon a. you get an opening
In the first round Charlie said. and
put everything you have In one
punch. A mans always relaxed and
careless until his blood gets warmed
up from hghting. and a blow has
twice ~ much effect then AZ II does
when he gets going
''Chip tried to get my goat before
the bout started.
"'No hard feelings when this In
over. young fellow he said.
No hard feelings I said.
Mice and clean he said. When
] knock you down I'll step back and
i've you . chance to get up.
"'AM right ] said. and when
knock you down I'll step back too
II watched Chip and saw he was
"a OF those fellows who are willing
rood ono in. He rushed and didn't
guard At all. tapped few times
With my right 10 that he wouldn't
expect much.
"He pulled his right hand back
whenever he started a hard one. l
watched that right and timed II. !
waited one time he pulled II until
] figured II was about six inches
too Tar back to beat my left. Then
stepped In and swung a left upper
cut a. hard as could"
"what did you think when he wen.
1own" I asked.
""Well." said Mccoy. laughing. II
looked at him and could hardy re-
alis0 he was on the floor. l was so
surprised ! stood still looking at him.
] forgot all about telling him I'd step
back. II didn't make any difference,
~ he couldn't get W. anyway. ]
thought ! might start him with that
punch. but 4 never dreamed OF knock
Ing such a strong fellow out with
enc blow. They tell me everybody
was surprised. Honest, they weren't
saif as surprised AZ was. Why. !
vas almost an paralyxed as Chip. All
I could think was: why. he's on the
0oor-he isn't getting up. I must be
4Ae champion. Gee! That was a
funny feeling. Chip Is a good sport.
IN the dressing room afterward he
said 10 me: That was some punch.
Md. wish you luck"s"
Mccoy says that after this he'll
train for every fght. He has repu-
tation now and doesn't want to lose
II.
Tn to this time ne has been Just
q fairly good middleweight. not show
ing any unusual amount OF class. But
he certainly struck one blow that was
worthy Of q champion. TN be inter-
0sting to see just what effect tho
