Moran and Willard Train Intensively in Snowy Prep for Bout
In a driving snowstorm in New York, Jess Willard jogged four miles through Central Park while Frank Moran ran five miles in Westchester. Willard then showcased speed on the west side, sparred with three partners, wrestled, and used the medicine ball as Moran focused on bag work and rope skipping. Moran, under trainer Willie Lewis, did four rounds of boxing with Bartley Madden and Bill McKinnon, plus two fast sessions opposing Moran’s heaviest sparring partner, Frank Kendall, with tense exchanges. Moran’s camp says he is on edge and needs careful nursing to stay in condition, wishing the bout could be tonight rather than ten days away.
