"Napoleon once remarked that "an army travels on its belly." Billy joined Napoleon's army in the sixth round. He didn't go down from anything Root did to him because his 200-pound antagonist was kind. But Billy's legs refused to stand the load. After five and one-half rounds of wobbling they caved. Billy flopped down on the mat and Referee Bennett stopped the "exhibition."Portland Oregonian
