Edgley v. Statham
Edgley v. Statham.
These proved great comedians. We agree that both men hit hard and often, but the impression left with us was that we were watching a conglomeration of almost every sport known to mankind. Hurdling, wrestling, flying Rugby tackles, and an occasional hop, step and jump seemed their most effective modes of attack. Statham's extra reach and weight seemed to tell on the Victoria man, who was gradually worn down under the terrific onslaught of the third round. O.U. eventually won a decision that might easily have gone the other way.
