does it pay to acquire cleverness in
II boxing?
From the lack OF clever boxers Of
the present day the answer OF the
majority OF present day rlngsters
would seemingly be No" II more
boxers aspIred to be masters Of the
art, It goes without saying that there
would be more types Of Corbett Nc
Coy, O'Brien, Gibbons, F'itzsimmons.
Cans and other masters Of the squared
circle.
There are stnl plenty OF boxers. In
fact, the number is greater than ever.
They still trained as much as usual
before the war, yet their time was not
put on the phases OF the game that
result in clever boxing. The majority
Of PRESENT day boxers lead clumsily
and have a limited defence, in a large
number Of cases consisting OF cover
ing up. which to the great boxers Of
all ages has been a last resort rather
than system OF defence within itself.
Don't Master Hitting.
To begin with there is a sad lack
OF mastery in correct delivery of
blows. No boxer is ready to take up
the finer points Of the game until
he knows how to use correctly a
straight left, straight right, hooks,
uppercuts and swings. He may then
take up the matter OF when to use
these blows and the slight variations
that are necessary in case Of certain
style boxers and varied defence. Some
boxers at Bliss today who have at
tanned considerable success in local
bouts-some who have even been
hailed as sectional champions-don't
know how to hit straight, let alone
knowing when TO use it. Such defects
quickly prove the undoing OF boxers
when they meet ringsters who have
long ago graduated in hitting and are
game.
Poor Defensive Work.
The same deficiency in defensive
tactics is quite common. In most of
the bouts witnessed at Bliss within
the last. year the most common defence
assumed is the "coverup." Parrying
and blocking an opponents blows is
seldom seen IN accomplished form
Since Uncle Sam has begun to train
his soldiers IN boxing that they may
De improved IN bayonet work. the
"coFerup" has not only been in dis
repute with all first class boxers, but
has been the target Of the government
authorities. 1t is a dangerous habit
for boxer to acquire. but doubly
to be bayonet fighting.
