Grantland Rice notes Louis trails Conn in training with Conn sharper and faster. Conn, better conditioned at AA pounds, shows eagerness and six to eight rounds of work. Louis appears lethargic, needing to speed up, maintain knockout threat, and close the gap before the June 19 heavyweight title fight.
