He moved away, boxing beautifully, stiffening his left arm against Schmeling's head, shifting so skilfully that Schmeling, in his eagerness to land a solid punch, several times fell into the strategic blunder of leading with his right. Schmeling likes to let his opponents work hard in the early rounds, cut them down slowly when they are tired...
