...Chicago. Old Paulino Uzcudun, once a Pyrenean woodchopper and now a chopping block for young ambitious heavyweights, showed his gold front teeth at King Levinsky, onetime Chicago fish-peddler whose manager is his sister, Mrs. ("Leaping") Lena Levy. As usual, when he is fighting someone with a punch, Uzcudun tucked his chin against his chest, allowed Levinsky to pound the top of his Neanderthal skull.

...hard for a short man to uppercut a tall man's jaw, but Paulino Uzcudun found how to do it. He would swing a left into the ribs of Otto Von Porat, lantern-jawed Norwegian, and as Von Porat's head came down it would meet a right hand whisking up. Bettors who had figured that the Norwegian had two chances of landing the best punches for every chance squat Uzcudun had of staying away from them, cheered when, in the first round, Uzcudun spread his legs to keep from falling. After that Uzcudun kept his chin...
