Another double punch was the "one-
two" punch used by Willie Lewis. Will
liam always claimed the credit of in
venting the punch but believe 1t must
have been used as far back AS the time
of PhAlos in Greece. II is one OF the
most natural tricks in the world. Lewis,
however. attained Il rare degree Of skill
in delivery. and had such a Kick that
he knocked out great many heavy
lights who outweiGhed him by forty
pounds or more.
The Famous "one-TwoI' Punch.
Willie's trick was to drive a straight
left jab and even as ii was about TO
land to start a terrific right stWight
along tho same line Of delivery. The left
might be only tap. but il covered the
! eyes of the victim for the instant it took
the right TO follow. and the crashing
! right was knockdoWn blow.
| Mcfarland had his own variation OF
| the 'one-two' punch. Packcy reached
out with the left. but made no attempt
, 10 land a jab. Instead. he held his glove

/ with it. 1t was all done quickly and
deity while slipping into hitting range.
and Mcfarland would repeat this trick
