O’Brien was In poor condition or probably the result would have boen different, as ho had Root down for the count three times in the second round. Root rallied quickly and came up in pretty good shape for the next round. O'Brien tried hard to finish his young opponent, but in his eagerness to gain a knockout he left himself open and was sent down for the count just as the round was ended. This seemed to weaken the New Englander and he was shaky in the fourth. He never faltered, however, but kept boring In for the body and had Root clinching to escape punishment near the end of the round. O’Brien overbalanced from a wild swing and Root knocked him through the ropes. He got back before time was up and bad a shade the best of a fierce mlxup as the round ended. Iu the fifth and sixth rounds Root got his left hand swing and smothered O’Brien with Jabs.
