As canny as an aged monkey, Britton stepped around the ring, warding the wild, drastic punches of his adversary. In the third round, Brignola knocked a false tooth from Britton's mouth. Therefore Jack Britton drove Brignola to the ropes and kept him there with feints and clinches, ordering the referee to find his tooth and keep it.
