It was a finish to a spectacular light. There was everything there to make It a great fight, as there every thing in a big story to make it a hit.

He was like an express train for four rounds and after that they began to get heavy. O'Brien's jab and . get-away had won him the first, made an even break for the third and won him the fourth.
