As for the fight between Snapp and Joe Woods, I don t think
it was quite as bad as the above letter has it pictured. The
punch which Snapp landed in the third round would have put

know or care what odds might have been quoted on the fight
up and down the street, but I thought Woods was going to win.
That's nothing, I also thought UCLA was going to win.
