Gard record, but a boxing match is un- predictable. We must not forget the observation of Fits at Butte, Mon- tana, when he went the four round- er with a levlsthon monstrosity. "The bigger they are the 'Irdcr they fail."-in this case in a figurative sense. Actually the weights are even. Trainor is endowed with great physical strength and nervous energy. All great physical feats rs quire much nervous energy. He h the "fighting heart and will to win." which will in no small degree compensate for comparative lack of experience. Boxing bouts are full of upsets and surprises. Jim Corbett had it all over Pits for 13 rounds but just couldn't get the "birdie" punch over. Fitz in desperation tried the simple old one. two, three (left. right, left. with right foot forward. left landing over the "pit" of the stomach; When Corbett revived he protested "foul play"-thought he was hit by some terrible outside force. It was known at the time as the solar plexus blow. Many of those big fights are won- by well formed plans or systems- methods by which to counter the opponents "long suit". For instance Dempsey battering Jess Willard's ribs to make him drop his "guard". and then shifting to the Jaw. It was as simple as that. Dempsey was Max Beer's adviser when ne beat Primo Carnero. Mix Schmeling saw Joe Louis' weak defence against a good right and capitalized on it. The writer saw Jack Blackburn faint the Bar- Vbadoes wonder. Joe Walcott, No. 1 into a straight left lead and knock- ed hlm out with a right cross counter. which didn't move more than six inches, very few saw the punch, but it ended Joe's great career. Ring history is full of up. sets. The greatest of all was the de- Wit Of "Terrible" Terry McGovern by Young Corbett in 1901. Trainor is a good living, hard working young fellow. 5 ft, 11 ins, of whom charlottetonians expect great things, He is rated No. 2 Canadian middleweight contender.
