knew the first principle OF the game
would have him on the floor IN 80 sec

Another thing! Jude can not take a
punch on the jaw, Monday night Kid
Green shot a right uppercut that trav-
eled hut a few inches, and Jude dropped
out.
Aside from being unable to take a
punch and knowing less than nothing
about the mitt game, Jude Is a class A
fighter.
