Of getting knocked out.
Doyle is in the habit, or so it
seems, Of taking healthy swing
at his opponent, missing by a

Doyle tries to make up for
his blunder with a lifting Irish
song as he lies on the canvas
while the referee counts him
out. The fans enjoy a good laugh,
and whenever Doyle is sched-
uled to fight they are back again
in droves. Doyle probably never
will hold a championship title,
