Dunn Acted Hastily
was certain that would be on my feet
at the end of six rounds. I never before
had been knocked off my feet and II was
difficult to realize that I was down. In
reality, / was not down. for only my right
Knee was on the floor The round only had
one second to 60 and Dunn surely acted
hastily in throwing the towel in. I still
was mystified when reached my dressing
room.
Was I dazed? Well, when he hit me with
that left I was n little dizzy. but l doubt
IL he could have hit me in the right place
to put me away. We all get hit and often
we get clipped when the crowd and even
your opponent is not aware. 1t was the first
time Dunn ever saw me wobble. and proba-
bly, hat is the reason he believed me
through.
Leonard has n great defense. He Is
