So decided to transform my jab
into a REAL. BLOW-not use it
merely to flick foeman's face, or
keep him off punching balance. I've
gone into fighter with every jab
80 followed through as the ex-
preston goes in golf. And that
has been contrary to the act of
most boxers who jab lightly and
then step away.
Naturally, il / put all my
weight into 8 jab for the face
-if shoot Il with the power
Of my arms and the bulk Of my
body behind-the IL follows
that when q jab lands, it hurts.
And, Of course, q succession of
jabs, such as use sooner or
later, must knock the nose out
Of shape, or bIacken an eye, or 1
cut . cheek.
The average boxer, who taps or
el1oves, more than jolts with his
Jab. does not accomplish any great
facial damage, because there isn't
much power in his blows. Nor does
a slugger OF Jack Dempsey's type
scramble up a foeman's features to
any great extent.
Only rarely has Dempsey cut or
bruised a mans face. That is be.
cause Jack aims to 'l5ill'' with
every blow he throws. A jab is
almost foreign to his fighting meth
DDS. He swings either for the
body or the rim Of the chin. He
strikes for Vulnerable spots and If
he hits those no mark or abrasion
Is left.
Dempsey, Of course, has cut
up some men, but that hap
pened only when he missed his
swings and the punches caught
his fOemen on the cheek, the
nose or the eye or forehead.
In my fights. ] never aim to
bruise or cut q mans face. I'd
rather win without doing damage
than puff mans cheeks, close
his eyes or smash his nose. But
It generally can't be helped so long
as / jab with all my power-and
that's the method Of jabbing that
lifted me from ring obscurity to
. worlds championship.

At the same time, Rogers Hornsby
