We just thought, match the two best heavies, and whoever beats who is the top man. Right? Nobody thought the n*gger would lick one first, and then go after the other all the way to Australia.

Smith aka Smitty, Evening Mirror Reporter:
I was down in Melbourne for the paper, Mr. Brady, and let me tell you, no paper here could print how bad it really was. He'd say, "Wanna hit me now, fella?" Then he'd *let* him, grinning all the time. Cuffing him, jabbing, making smart-ass remarks to the crowd.

Reporter:

Frank Brady, Boxer:
I'm the what?

Smith aka Smitty, Evening Mirror Reporter:
The white hope. Every paper in the country is calling you that.

Fred:

He let a loudmouth n*gger be champion of the world." Now Frank, you go take a good, long look at that belt, and come on out here with it. I know you trust me, and I say you can beat him. And Franklin, the good Lord hates a quitter.
