Welsh S0ured Public.
Freddie Welsh has done more to sour
the American public on the no decisian
bouts than any other fighter. Welsh
has wonderful defence and has shown
repeatedly that he can protect his jaw

Welsh has fought on the defensive
and fought cautiously. As a result, all
his bouts have been tame, uninterest-
