Praises Boxing Game Here
British Champion Talks of Bout

iSh cousins on the futillty of thel1
pretty, old fashioned style when il
collides with the rough and ready
crouching, boring-in, clinch-and-
| muss-him- up style of so many sue
cessful American fighters.
Every now and then you will hear
it said that those Englishmen can
box, but they can't firht.
Welsh's work Tuesday night was
as sweeping a refutation of that con-
tention as need be.
THE British champion has a beau
1 tiful fighting style. and ME has
combined with the fine, straight
punching of the English school an
effective brand of infighting that GER
tainly originated on this side of the
water.
The most unlearned spectator al
the bout could hardly have failed to
note the consistency with which
Welsh was inside his opponent in all
the close work, as well as the terri
BILE effect of his clean, straight jabs
His timing-a lost art with the ma
5ority of American boXers--was SUI
perb. Continually he would start his
punch at the same time with Whit
ney's, get the blow home inside, and
add to it's initial force the impact
with which Whitney was coming in
DISCUSSING the bout later, Welsh
IL said he was reasonably certain he
could have put Whitney out had he
cut loose with all he had.
There are several reasons why
that was not the thing to do" said
Freddie. in the first place, ! have a
string Of fights coming right along
this month. | simply couldn't take
the chance of tearing my hands all
to pieces, especially after Whitney
made me take off most of my BAN
dages. Then again, | am not one
punch fighter My system is TO pun
ish an opponent DOWN to the finishing
stage Having the fight by a big
margin, it seemed to me that to pound
a good, game boy like Whitney into
that state would be something like
brutality. l boxed my best, and |
hit my hardest, and if I could have
slipped over a one punch knockout,
| certainly should have done it. So
| wasn't pulling by a good deal"
FOLLOWING the bouts Tuesday
L night, the boxing game is GER
tainly looking up in Atlanta.
IAN exhibition like that is good for
the game anywhere" said one prom
inent Atlanta business man, leaving
the Auditorium. "Clean, fast classy
boxing is one OF the finest things in
the world to watch, and ] hope we
can have some more bouts In this
class in the near future
