"We saw both boxers striving to win. Daly, however, was generally the better ring general, and he utilised his skill and kept Corbett guessing during most of the rounds. Daly is not yet 17, but he possesses the inherent ring-craft of a boxer twice his age. Corbett was always trying to break through Daly?s defence, but he failed." The Daily Herald, 3/5/1929
"Daly was Daly, and we do not think we need say any more. He is truly a wonder and is now generally acknowledged as being in a boxing class by himself... Daly?s work was, as is invariably the case with him, positively brilliant. His flashing left found Corbett time and again, and the rapidity with which he used this was an object lesson for the older professionals present. Corbett fought a great battle, but he could never work up the speed of that left, while the snap of Nipper?s countering rights to the head brought applause time after time." Boxing, 8/05/1929
