Ike Williams’ Opinion.
Inletes’l in the coming Corbett—Fitz-
sim‘mons fight, for the championship of
the world is growing in sporting circles
in this city. Ike Williams, the well
known Bridgeportboxer, who formerly
lived in Norwalk, has probably as inti-
mate an acquaintanceship with the
tactics of “Lanky Bob” as any of the
Eastern men in the ring, from the fact
that he was the sparring partner of
Fitzsimmons for one season. In dis-
cussing the chances of the Australian
in the coming contest, Mr. Williams
said:
“I don’t know why I so firmly be-
lieve it, but I feel assured that Fitz-
simmons will win this contest with Cor-
bett. 'Corbett has never ‘had a real
hard fight in his life.
Sullivan,John was old; Charlie Mitchell
was too small Ind Jackson was not in
the best of condition, although he gave
Corbett quite a fight.
fighter and he can hit hard and fast
and if he loses, Corbett will. know at
the end of the contest that he has had
the hardest struggle of his life. Fitz-
simmons is quick and has as many
tricks in the game as Corbett. It will
undoubtedly be the greatest fight that
has ever taken place in this country.”
