Damage Was Slight
That Bobby was not hurt as much

sudden attacks which drove Boomer
across the ring in retreat and by his
fine fighting in the last round. which
was his by a goodly margin. Bobby's
biggest fault was missing rights tc

Mandan Beau Brummel.
No knockouts were scored in the
scrap though Bobby slipped to the
floor twice, once each in the fifth anc
