and would be Winded and beaten But
Nick refused 20 train for wind.
Matched with Filipino.
FINALLY we matched Nick with q
Filipino who had been going good for
SIX rounds We warned him that
this black boy had wind something
awful, but Nick wouldn't do any extra
training He had too much conf
dence In that Wall0p. Before the bout.

do in his corner and impressed on
him the necessity OF doing absolutely
what 7 told him. An right said
Nick You do the caretaking and III
