Lahn put up a stubborn fight all the way but proved no match for his raw-boned opponent. In the early rounds Shea con- fined his attack to long range which enabled him to pepper Lahn with lightning left hand blows when and where he chose. Shea occasionally shot over a right hand punch, and be- tween the two, the Brooklyn boy had a busy time trying, to get out of way. Lahn had no satisfactory defensive for Shea’s lightning Jjabs and chose to fight at close quarters.
