8. No crowd was ever brought to its feet screaming and
cheering at the sight of two men beautifully dodging and
weaving out of each other’s jabs.

head, nobody would stand up, crying out in a shrill voice and
shouting in great joy.
9. The time the crowd comes alive is when a man is hit hard
over the heart or the head, when his mouthpiece flies out, when
blood squirts out of his nose or eyes, when he wobbles under the
attack and his pursuer continues to smash at him with poleax
impact.
The time when the crowd is brought to a cheerful and excited
mood is when a boxer receives hard blows over his heart and
head, when his gumshield falls out, when blood gushes out from
his nose or eyes, when he moves unsteadily from side to side
under the attack, and his opponent chases him and goes on with
his heavy blows and hard punches with the force of a poleax.
10. Put the blame where it belongs —on the prevailing mores
that regard prizefighting as a perfectly proper enterprise and
vehicle of entertainment.

money and form of amusement.
