In the second, a clean hit by Creighton as he came off ropes, and some half-hearted pum. melling in a brief clinch, was fol- lowed by: a couple of hard lofts which worried Morrish. The third was practically without a blow of noto until close to its end, when Creighton took the initiative and got in some hard lefts and rights in quick time, taking a hefty one about the body.
