Mitchell had his left in my face
all the time. There was not much
sting to it when he used it for jab-
bling, but it was a tantalizing thing
and it's going to do Mitchell lot of
good in his chase for the lightweight
championship.
:AtteII had a number of different
ways of using his left and it was al
ways hard to tell what he was going
to do with it. That left hand got him
the championship and allowed him
to keep it II years.
Johnny Dundee has a good left.
He makes odd use of is by leaping
into the air and shooting it forward.
"Patsy Kline has terrific waIIop
in his left, and Joe Rivers is not so
bad, but none of them compares with
this Mitchell chap"
Mitchell, according to KiIbane,
makes it almost impossible for an OPP,
ponent to try to "set" for a punch.
The Milwaukee scrapper keeps
shooting out the left in quick sue
cession, and although there is not
much power back of it sometimes, it
is good enough to keep an opponent
off his feet, and with it Richie is
able, most of the time, to beat his
antagonist to the punch.
There was something of a grudge
between Kilbane and Mitchell as a
result of bout several months ago,
and Kilbane went into their recent
match determined to settle all doubt
of supremacy. He tried harder for
knockout than in any other battle he
has boxed in long time.
