	“Leonard boxed with his opponent at all times and showed such clever defensive work that Pitts hardly laid a glove on him during the ten rounds. Time and again he had Pitts at his mercy, but would stop his offensive tactics to allow Pitts to recover and start afresh. At times Leonard ~~burlesqued the bout by dancing around his opponent, tapping him and breaking away, giving Pitts every opportunity to land, but the Australian was never able to take advantage of the offerings~~. ~~Leonard landed several times in the tenth round, staggering~~ Pitts~~. Had he followed up his advantage, he could have terminated the bout in any of the ten rounds.”~~
