16.—A good rallying round, and some good blows made. Sam put in a good hit in the throat, and they closed, and Belcher threw his opponent. 17 and 18.—No blow of importance. 19.—A hard fought round; each exerted himself to the utmost, and excellent blows were exchanged in a rally at arm’s length, until both fell, as though it had been preconcerted. 20.—Sam hit Belcher on the nose, but was thrown in closing. 21.—A desperate round, all rallying at arm’s length, each hitting and stopping. Sam had the advantage, Belcher being very weak. 26.—In this round Belcher exerted his utmost, followed his opponent with great courage, and displayed great skill in hitting and stopping. 27.—At the end of this round very faint hopes were entertained for Belcher’s success. Sam made play, rallied, and hit three severe blows on Tom’s left side; Tom, however, threw him. (Odds three to one on Sam.) 28.—Greatly in favour of Sam, who put in several severe blows on Belcher’s head, and he fell. 29.—A good round. Sam still kept the superiority; Belcher’s blows were too feeble to make any impression. Sam threw him. 30.—Sam appeared in great spirits, and as fresh as ever, but his eyes were almost closed. He rallied, and Tom, being almost exhausted, was knocked down. (Odds four to one on Sam.) 31.—Every one felt commiseration for Tom. His exertions to maintain the fight received applause, and were truly courageous; but Sam, elated at the state to which he had reduced his opponent, mustering all fire, beat him out of the ring. 32.—Belcher struck twice, but very feebly, and in vainly endeavouring to rally, fell. 33.—Tom had no chance whatever, his blows were perfectly useless. He fell without receiving a blow.
