I still can't get over that Conn outboxed Louis for 12 rounds or so. It's like his concentration lapsed for 10 seconds and he blew a chance at a history-making victory. Frankly, it's a blight on Louis's record that a middleweight could do that to him. Conn was no average middleweight clearly. Still though.

I always like what Billy said after the fight: "What's the point of being Irish if you can't be stupid?".
Funny stuff..
