as soon as he was ready to do so I predicted to myself six rounds Gay said before he left the ring But Im surprised it went even this far I didnt expect as much trouble as he gave me Clay said London was awful clean in the clinches and a gentleman He never did bump in and he showed no rough stuff with me Im really lucky he didnt land one Asked about the right-hand punch that finished London Clay said I suppose thats what hit him but 1 wasnt sure at the time Gay said London never hurt me About his opportunity for a knockout he said suddenly it was here and that was the payoff" London who marveled later at the speed with which Clay threw punches at him said he just never bad a chance He was too good for me the beaten Briton said He is the fastest fighter I have ever seen When I came out for the second round I was as fit as a fiddle and wasnt even puffed he said But although Clay is not a knockout puncher his combinations are terrific You dont even see them bid they are doing
