I have forty years ominont al to uphold the prong title champion the world when I'm through.” * J FInsT OF THE BOUTS BETWEEN BIG FELLOWS brought out Le- vinaky and Coffey. The big Irish boy weighed 196% pounds, while Levinaky wae only 170%. Coffey was much taller, lon had improved since his former appearances. From the start his aise and etrength seamed to imp: evinaky, Moreover, Coffey boxed with care, re- fusing to be drawn in by Levinaky's foints, feinting with him, and shooting over hard jabs every time the smaller man moved. Levinaky tually, until the rly into @ corner, oracked him on the chin ‘with his right, and sweeping in a long left fairly lifted him from his feet and dropped him head down to the floor. It was a clean knockdown. Le- vineky Jumped up, actually blushing with embarrasament. He ten't used to being knocked down. From that time on he fought furloumly. In the Inet couple of rounds Levinaky punished Coffey severely, and outboxed him far empugh to overcome the lead of the eariler rounds, in apite of Coffey's con: Cinual aggressivences. Coffey was weak and reeling for a moment in each Found from the seventh to the tenth, . JT FLYNN USED HIS olf headlong attack on Rodel, and at thi n Yeuked as if he'd do something. But Rodel peppered away continually. with hard righta and left hoo! nd uppercuts, using Jim's head for a punching bag. Mobody can stand that treatment indefinitely. As usual, Fiymn ate up enough Punishment to topple an elephant, and at times Rodel was much discouraged. In the last two rounds Jim rushed tn headlong, landing with both gloves and fhe crown of hie head at once. Once, rushing Rodel the home corner, he catied to Jimmy Johnson, Rodel's manager: ‘Throw in the life lines.” How- ever, Rodel wasn't #iving a diving exhibition.
