"Grim came up very gallus in the second round, but he soon dropped the air as Smith landed a few hard blows on his face and body that had the delegate from League Island fighting in a wild state. After a few more moments of fiddling on the part of Smith, which caused an anxious look to appear upon Grim's face, the big black ended the agony by catching Joe on the stomach, which sent Grim down for good and out."
