In the fifth and sixth rounds ] got
to his body with couple of hard
rights and lefts | saw him vince
after these punches, and / then made
up my mind that the downstairs at
tack was the one for me.
All the fans who saw the fight will
remember how Rivers began to stall
and hold on after the seventh round.
Well, the body blows caused this. He
simply could not take them. and in
the meantime l managed to keep him
turning around and then | would
whip in the short ones.
And Rivers was not hitting me
much, either. In fact, he was too
busy trying to protect himself and
trying to hold on. But | kept plug
ging away, and in the tenth round |
knew that he was on his way.
After a little staling in the elev-
enth, | tented at his body with my
left, and he dropped his head guard.
He was wide open, and l simply cross
ed with my right to the jaw. This
was the best punch that 7 landed up
like log, and ! really was surprised
to see him get up at the count OF
nine.
He looked grogey and his eyes were
CLASSY. He clinched with me, and ]
gradually worked him around to n
corner and then, turning him so his
body was wide open, I let go a right
swing which landed between the KID

toppled over on his face and laid
there while Timekeeper George Hart

In justice to the little Mexican,
