London, June 16.
While 13,000 spectators were shouting with. frantic. joy, Walter Neusel, German heavyweight wrecker of so many British hopes, was counted out, sitting upright and staring dejectedly at his manager and seconds, after eight minutes' boxing in his fight at Harringay last night with Tommy Farr, the British champion, writes Harold Lewis in the Daily Telegraph.
The end was dramatic in its swiftness, and astounding in manner to those experienced in boxing. Neusel had been com- pletely outclassed in every phase during the first two rounds, and the signs were that he was growing desperate and confused.
He had been punched more times than any man could count, not with the crushing "haymaker" typical of the heavyweight, but with well-timed, stinging blows to the face and to the liver.
There was nothing to suggest, dellow who had crushed to powder however, what was so soon to follow with his massive. fists any chance.
