    An exciting chess match! Both of these guys had fast feet and very fast hands. Tunney was bigger and stronger, but Conn was more of a fast flow combination puncher. Both threw plenty of punches and didn't just run around. A fight that would be worth the price of admission.

    Why did he assume that Tunney was pretentious?

    He didn't. Gene was enormously pretentious.
