McG a fast starter took away Gans legs with the first KD. Joe swinging for the fences now, none of this straight punch nonsense knowing his legs are betraying him.
Because boxing was and still is corrupt, that give an opening for drunken boxing writers who often paid others to lift their account of the fight with some whipped cream and cherry adornments for the rubes then and now.
