Promoter Tennis Note Seeks Fury in O'Brien Bout
Philadelphia May 20. I am disappointed in my showing with O'Brien. I expected to knock him out in four rounds but he hung on and saved himself. He is clever but cannot hit with force. Like the Sailor Burke bout, my opponent wouldn’t fight. Burke stayed on the floor while O'Brien clung to life. Ietchel will show what punching means in the next fight.
