Martell is very fast, clever but no match for Brady, and while the bout proved a success, from an exhibition standpoint, judged as a fight, it was just too bad, for Martell was no match for the local man and would not have lasted one round had Brady been inclined to end the fight as soon as possible. Brady won the decision. C.
