They danced quite a bit and were sparring when the chapter closed. Tendler, always a body crusher, em- ployed a style unexpected of him Perhaps it was strategy. Any way his attack was diversified, especlally after he had been warned repeatedly for striking dangerously near the foul line. Yet Leonard's defense had much to do with this; Tendler found that he could not pump both hands indis- criminately into the champion's torso.
