He got me matched with Denver Brown,

I finished him in half a round.

Next month I fought with Brooklyn Mike,

As tough a boy who hit the pike;

Then Frisco Jim and Battlin’ Ben,

And knocked them all inside of ten.

I took ’em all and won each bout,

None of them birds could put me out;

The sportin’ writers watched me slug,

Then all the papers run my mug.
