That punch reminded him of the first fight and he said to himself this guy keeps coming and he decided that that uppercut was a taste of things to come and the 1st round was enough
Jersey Joe kept his eye on the prize. He never let the losses deter him from his goal in life ...he kept pressing on. His "Jazz" rhythm/tempo style combined with his superior conditioning helped prolong his career. He stayed hungry for the ultimate prize in sport during his day The Heavyweight Championship of The World. In 1980 I was presented the first Golden Glove Title I won from none other then Jersey Joe himself, they brought him for Title Night. And all I can tell you is even at 70+ he still looked like he could go!
