“Why,” said Wolgast, “You can tie my hands behind my back and let Mandot hammer away his hardest for twenty rounds then untie me and I’ll put him out in less than that time. Compared with Rivers both Mandot and Ritchie are easy and lack the punch that is essential in a champion. Rivers evidently was untrained and unconditioned when Mandot licked him on Labor Day, and I think the Mexican will beat Mandot when they meet on Thanksgiving at Los Angeles."
