George Chip Fails to Impress Critics in Racine Fight

George Chip, famed for a knockout of Frank Klaus, boxed Wim O'Neill in Racine Wisconsin last week and earned a verdict after ten rounds but failed to wow fans.

Chip used a delayed uppercut and jabs sparingly, showing power when landings occurred but lacking a straight punch and consistent technique. He showed grit and a strong build, yet must improve to reach top middleweight class status.
