BODY YPUNCHES
HURT BOXER: .

Tom o'Rourke Says That Head
Blows Do Not Bother
Ring Generals.

Body punching hurts man more
than blows to any other part OF his
person. granting that the blows are
fair blows, as they are understood TO
be fair in boxing. declares Tom
O'Rourke. Tom ought to know. He
has managed champions. He says:
"I have often noticed in the old
days when fighting was with the
bare knuckles or skin-tight gloves,
that the fighters paid no attention
to blows against the face or head,
devoting all their attention to pro
tecting their body.
ct come to the conclusion that the
head punches were not hurting them,
while the body punches were giving
them real pain.
81 interrogated Jack Havlin, the
gamest fighter ever saw, after he
had fought Ike Weir, the Belfast
Spider. 'seventy-four gruelling rounds
at Westlet, r. /.
"He said his head became so numb
after few rounds that he scarcely
felt the blows there. He tried after
that to protect his own body and
punish his adversary in the body,
Watching and questioning other
fighters makes me certain that
punches to the head finally have
the same deafening effect as an in
lection Of novacaine in the hand
Somehow the body is immune to that
deadening and the sensitiveness to
pain is always there,
'The punch to that part of the
anatomy known as the solar plexus
In unauestionably the most damag
ing punch that can be delivered.
1T crumples man up Immediately
1t was the punch that beat jim
Corbett when he fought Bob Fitz
