Jersey Joe Walcott
Oh, I couldn't match Cassius in speed, but that wouldn't be a problem in the
later Rounds.
He would have to come in sometime, and that is where I would counter-punch
him with my left-hook.
He liked it when fighters would move forward and chase or follow him. Not me,
I would just lay back and wait to pounce like a 'spring-loaded' Cat.
I'm sure he would be circling and dancing, trying to bait me into moving forward.
But I would pull a 'reverse' and move away from him, and wave him in.
That would get the crowd against him.
