“It just shows that I ruffled his feathers good and plenty at Los Angeles,” said Wolgast, “After that ten rounds the Battler did not have much to say. He was in a thoughtful mood, and when he did talk at all it was to admit that I had given him more than he had reckoned for. Some months have passed and he is getting boastful again. Then again he licked a fellow named Lang and that has given him a fresh stack of confidence. Lang was not much to boast about at that. Hobo Dougherty could stop Lang in five rounds, and if I couldn’t do the trick in two I’d eat the gloves.”
