"At the end of the thirty-ninth round the referee warned Nelson that if he didn't make a showing in the first minute of the fortieth round he would give the fight to Wolgast. Bat made a heroic effort, but he could do nothing and so he saw the championship pass to a younger man, but one who will never prove so heroic a fighter as himself."
