Campbell didn’t go down on the first punch. He was a tough guy.

Second one killed him, on the spot.

Just cut it off, will you?

The autopsy said that his brain was knocked loose from the connecting tissue.

Consider your ass fully covered, OK?

Run it again.

Remember Ernie Schaaf? Nice guy. You lost one to him in’ 31.

Ernie took one of those on the chin from Baer. He was dead and didn’t know it.

Next fight, first little nothing jab put him to sleep forever. Detached brain, they said.

Joe

No snappy comeback?

It ain’t my skull the guy’s gonna try and stove in.

You want to think about it?

You think you’re telling me something?

What, like boxing’s dangerous, something like that?

You don’t think triple shifts or workin’ nights on scaffolds is just as likely to kill a guy?

How many guys died the other night living in cardboard shacks trying to save on rent?

Guys just trying to feed their family. ‘Cause men like you

have not yet quite figured out a way to make money out of watching that guy die.

In my profession - and it’s my profession -

I’m a little more fortunate.

All righty, then.
