	: Then with a hard left jab he got Jones off balance, followed with a straight, stiff left which set up his opponent. Then he whacked over the right that was the finish. The punch spun Jones around, dropped him, good. The Negro boy tried to push himself up as Referee [[Davey Ward~~\|Davy Ward]]~~ tolled over him. He couldn't make it. If he had, it would have been no use. He was up against a superior workman in this business of fighting.		: Then with a hard left jab he got Jones off balance, followed with a straight, stiff left which set up his opponent.
