    I think we need to view your copy mate... in slow motion would be great... perhaps to settle a few arguements.

    A sweet upper cut and smashing right hand looks to have completely stiffed Gans also. He never appeared in the same time zone afterwards..... yet his composure after the fight was stopped, looks non-flusted.... scratchy film??

    Gans was badly hurt or dazed against Dal Hawkins, who was much harder puncher at lightweight than McGovern, but Joe fought back furiously in both fights.
