3.—The Master of the Rolls put in two severe facers, and beat his opponent down against the stakes. On commencing this round Oliver tried to trip up his adversary, but his brother told him it was wrong.
4.—Oliver, although brought into the ring by his brother, really seemed to have no notion of fighting. He hit at random, and did but little execution. The baker again milled his face, and ultimately threw him.
5.—This was a dreadful round for punishment. In closing, some heavy hits passed between them, and they broke away. The blood was running down Oliver’s face; notwithstanding, he fought his way into a desperate rally, in which his nob received a couple of desperate blows. In closing, they both got suspended on the ropes, and a violent struggle took place before they went down.
6.—Some sharp milling; and, in closing, both fell out of the ring.
7.—Oliver displayed no science whatever; his chief aim seemed to be struggling with his opponent; but even in closing he failed, as Martin generally brought Oliver down.
8.—The right hand of Martin again punished Oliver’s nob, and the claret flowed in abundance. In closing, both down.
9.—The hugging system again prevailed. Both down, but Oliver fell completely over the ropes.
10.—Martin went in with great spirit and bored his adversary to the ropes. In closing, both down.
11.—Oliver appeared rather distressed, and came slowly up to the mark. The right hand of the baker was again at work, and Oliver’s mug was getting fast out of shape. Both down.
12.—In this round Martin showed he possessed scientific knowledge, had completely the best of it, and sent his opponent down.
