The report recalls Bob Martin once seen as a logical foe to Jack Dempsey after a decisive win over Moran. In September 1921 in Baltimore he absorbed repeated blows to a pointed chin, suffered a severe knockdown, and spent weeks in bed as doctors puzzled over his vision. His manager Bronson moved him to New York and later West Virginia where an oculist repaired his eyesight. Martin, noted for lifting his chin, was advised to keep his eyes level to improve accuracy and reduce vulnerability.
