...minutes and two seconds 215 pounds of Negro Harry Wills laced, slashed and uppercutted at 203 pounds of White Floyd Johnson, lowan fisticuffer. Then Johnson's seconds flirted a white towel-tossed it onto the canvas lest the "Brown Panther" should massacre their lowite. Ten thousand fight fans trooped out of Newark Armory (N.
