	All of this may have been by way of setting up a betting coup and a big gate for a fight between Kloby and a more notable opponent, the great Johnny Dundee. Kloby and Dundee met in Lawrence on October 13 and Dundee proved to be much too clever for the New Englander, even though outweighed by many pounds.
