1t has been that way since the

boOs during his title career, climbed

crowd almost raised the roof.
Jess rode Il wave of popularity for
a couple of months. then the night
he fought Luis Angel F'irpo in Royles
Thirty Acres he was blown out Of the
picture for all time by a blast of booS.
! The man hasn't yet been born who

And | realized, too, that it is what

The chairman of the New York
