NJ 1t is 50 unusual for fighter
l Il to acknowledge defeat at the
hands Of an opponent that an
incident Of the kind is really
worth recording. There are some
boxers who win admit after a
match that the other fellow had an
even break, when, as a matter Of fact,
everyone else probably gave the fight
to the other one; but then again this
same boxer would probably follow with
an abb about how his opponent hap
pened to get the even break.
But in Australia there is a fighter
who came out in cold type and gave
his opponent credit for. a victory. Ar
Morey, a >Welterweight Of Melbourne,
is the boy in question. The following
article was penned by Morey and sent
to the Sydney referee;

night and after hard 20 round battle

which was a correct verdict Duncan
Neven promoted the event and gave
universal satisfaction. Key fought
splendidly and has improved"
There are many boxers in America
who might do wen to follow Morey's
example and give credit where it is
due, no matter whether il hurts or not
Such actions viii never hurt a fighters

then an injustice has been done both OF
