My first knowledge that there was
supposed to be such a rule, came
AFTER THE FIGHT when Barry
used it to explain his failure to
start count over Tunney until the
champion was on the floor six or
! seven seconds.
Barry has said that 1t was agreed
between Tunney and myself that
the count over a fallen fighter
would not start until the fighter
! who was on his feet had retired to
| a neutral corner. No such agreement
| was ever made.
And even if Barry had attempted

would have done 50 without power,
