Championship fighting by Jack dempsey

And let me emphasize that in the days when I was drinking in all that information, the fighters, trainers and managers knew much more about
punching than they generally know today. You must remember that when I fought Willard in 1919, it was only twenty-seven years after Jim
Corbett had beaten John L. Sullivan at New Orleans in the first championship fight with big gloves. While I was coming up, the technique of the
old masters was still fresh in the minds of the fighting men. Now, it is over thirty years since the day I fought Willard. During those years fighting
became "big business"; but in the scramble for money in the cauliflower patch, the punching technique of the old masters-Sullivan, Corbett, Bob
Fitzsimmons, Tommy Ryan, Joe Gans, Terry McGovern, and others- seems to have been forgotten.

THAN IN A BOXING BOUT. FIST-FIGHTING IS GENERALLY MORE DANGEROUS THAN BOXING.
In connection with that danger, never forget: The longer the fight lasts, the longer you are exposed to danger. Moreover, the danger
percentage against you generally increases with each passing minute of the fight.
When you square off, you hope to beat your opponent into submission in a hurry. But, as the fist-fight continues, you find you are not
achieving your quick victory. You discover you are beginning to tire because of your exertions and because of your tension. Since you have no
chance for rest periods, the longer you fight the more tired you become.
True, your opponent also may be getting fatigued; but you can't be certain about his exact condition unless he's blowing and staggering. You
know for sure only that you're nearly "all in," and that he's still out there swinging at you. Accordingly, the longer he keeps fighting, the less
chance you have of winning; but the greater chance you have of being battered, cut up, knocked down, knocked out, or injured.
Because of the danger in a fist-fight, it is imperative that you end the brawl as quickly as possible; and the best way to do that is by a
knockout. The knockout is far more important in fist-fighting than in boxing, YOU'VE GOT TO KNOCK 'EM OUT IN FIST-FIGHTS.
