2.—Sam going in to rally. Tom hit him right and left, and likewise stopped two blows. In closing, Belcher was thrown. (Betting now commenced—five to two on Sam.)
3.—Sam extremely cautious till he had got his proper distance, when, after making a left-handed feint, he put in a terrible blow under Belcher’s left eye that brought the claret out in abundance, and its effects were so severe that Tom was confused, and, upon exchanging a hit, was thrown. (Three to one on Sam.)
4.—Both rallying, and exchanging hits at arm’s length; no advantage on either side; but the strength of Sam was prominent in closing. He threw his opponent.
5.—A most excellent round, but rather in favour of Belcher. Sam rallied, but without effect, as Belcher hit him off. Notwithstanding, Sam closed, disengaged, and commenced another rally, when Tom put in a most tremendous blow upon the left eye of his opponent, and also threw him a heavy fall.
6.—Desperate fighting; both exhausted, and fell together.
7.—Belcher put in two slight hits; when they closed irregularly and fell.
8.—Rallying and good science on both sides; hitting and stopping in good style, till they both fell. Belcher manifested first weakness.
9.—Sam incorrect in his distances; Belcher gave him a severe fall. (Four to one on Sam.)
10.—Belcher hit his opponent slightly, when Sam threw him.
11.—Sam, full of strength, rallied desperately, which was followed up by Tom, but in favour of the Jew. Sam’s blows were dreadful, and Belcher’s face and body suffered materially. He fell from weakness.
