With These Hands (Ss) (2002)
“"Boyoboy, what a crowd! Almost fifty thousand, folks!
Think of that! It's the biggest crowd on record, and it should be a great battle.
"This is the acid test for the 'Tiger Man/ the jungle killer who blasted his way up from nowhere to become the leading contender for the world's heavyweight boxing championship in only six months!
"Tonight he faces Battling Bronski, the Scranton Coal Miner. You all know Bronski. He went nine rounds with the champ in a terrific battle, and he is the only white fighter among the top contenders who has dared to meet the great Tom Noble.
"It'll be a grand battle either way it goes, and Bronski will be in there fighting until the last bell.

Deke Hayes, champion of the world, leaned back in the | chair in his hotel room and glanced over at his manager.

The way the writer is tossing years around, 4 here 9 there, and with the champ and Tiger already established as top boxers on an around-the-world tour, both the Champion and Tiger must be pushing 40. and Noble approaching 50.Write Review:
