I up and fought toe TO toe Leonard
might have brought him down, but
when the bigger man covered up the
smaller man could do nothing with
him.
The critical ones do not accept this
as an adequate excuse. however. They

Britton l. too Clever.
Leonards answer TO this sort Of
criticism is that he is not that kind
of fighter. Instead OF beating his
man down by main strength and aE-
gressiveness he uses more fiuesse-
Leonard asserts that he tried 10 make
