Farrs Optimism After Narrow Loss Fuels Return Hopes
Tommy Farr, the Welsh fighter, says he will be at least 50 percent better on his return as he recovers from a brutal bout with Jor Seouls. He blames former manager Ted Brosdribb for past issues and now trains alone with Tara Evans. Farr, 25 minutes faint, revealed tempers and irritations while recounting the Louis fight and row over alcohol treatment. He also notes improved disposition and social ties with Vic McLaglen aboard ship, and boasts of Welsh phonographs, warning rivals about speaking lightly.
