It was a two inch gash over i he richt eve which put Charnley out of action with his sixth loss in 40 pro fights, hut there was a difference of opin.on as to ho he got the cut. "It was an unintentional butt," Charnley's manager, ruddy faced Arlhur Boggis, said. Says Left Did Damage But Brown countered, "butt, nothing. I hit him with a left and then a risht, and 1 cut him with the left. It was as gcod an over hand left as I ever threw." The viclory was Brown's sixth knockout win in eight defenses ol the title he won three years a?o from Wallace 'Bud' Smith. And Brown thought it was one of his easiest. "I'd give him a rematch," he said, "but it's up to my manager (Lou Viscusii to make the matches. I'll fight Charnley to morrow, anywhere, even London, if I can get the money out of there.
