This '.goat getting Is supposed to
get q man SO excited and so frothy
that he loses control Of his poise
and his calmness, and, In his own
furious anger, swings wildly and Is
always off balance because OF fran.
tic eagerness to deliver a killing
punch.
why should / try ''goat getting
to get a man of balance when
have learned the trick Of keeping
him off balance either by feinting
or by jabbing him just IS he Il
getting set to hit? Why resort to
tricks when I can use a bit OF skill
--or call 1t generalship-t accom-.
plish my purpose?
Maybe, when get bit older.
or when I need more versatility ia
win battles, I may try little OF
this goat getting. But mas.
much as have won so out OF 81
fights and a worlds championship
with my system Of not trying to
.'get goats.' I guess I'll keep right
on fighting my own way for quite
q while longer and resort not at
all to what might be called "un.
ethical" In ring warfare.
