72.—Tom still waiting and resting himself; Jones came in and planted his right on the ribs. Tom returned on the right ogle, but not heavily, and Jones down, his right eye going fast. Sayers, though much tired, had both eyes well open, and his face presented no very serious marks of punishment.
73.—Heavy exchanges, and Jones fell on his face.
74.—Jones tried to lead off, but was stopped. Counter-hits, Sayers on the nose, and Jones on the cheek, and Jones fell.
75.—Heavy exchanges, in favour of Sayers, and Jones down.
76.—Jones, who saw he must do it quickly or not at all, dashed in recklessly, but was stopped. Tom popped a little one on the nose, and Jones down.
77.—Jones was again stopped, and Tom got well on his good eye, and Jones fell.
78.—Sayers stopped Aaron’s rush, and again got on to his good peeper. Jones instantly fell on his knees.
79.—Aaron delivered his left on the nose, and, in trying to repeat it fell on his face. Another claim that he had fallen without a blow not allowed.
80.—Heavy exchanges, Tom getting again on Aaron’s good peeper, which was now all but shut up, and Jones down.
81.—Jones led off, but wofully out of distance, and fell forward.
