37.—Langan hit Spring slightly. On the whole this might be termed a fighting round. In closing, a desperate struggle took place; Spring undermost. 38.—This was also an excellent fighting round. Langan laughed at Spring, saying, “You have done nothing yet!” “All in good time,” replied Spring, “I shall do it at last.” Langan planted two blows on the side of Spring’s head; but the Irishman wanted length to do severe mischief. Both fell, and Cribb, in the bustle, was also on the ground. 39.—Spring gave his opponent a noser, when a few hits passed till both went down. 40.—Langan received another nobber. Both down. 41.—This was a tedious round; neither combatant would go to work for some time. In closing, Spring obtained the fall, and was uppermost. 42.—Langan kept trying his left hand, in order to punish Spring’s body; but the latter got away so cleverly, that the blows of the Irish Champion were not effective. Spring undermost in the throw. 43.—A desperate trial of strength on the part of Langan to obtain the fall, which the Irish Champion ultimately accomplished, Spring being undermost. 44.—Langan planted two body blows with his left hand. Langan was thrown; and Spring fell upon his knees. 45.—Spring cautious; Langan full of spirits. (Most of the fighting men exclaimed, “He is the best Irishman ever seen in the ring. He is the gamest man alive!” Here Martin observed to a Corinthian, “What a pity it is that the backers of Langan had no more judgment than to place him in opposition to Spring.”) Spring had the best of this round, and Langan was fibbed down at the ropes. 46.—Langan made a hit. An exchange of blows, but the Irish Champion slipped and went down. 47.—The ring was getting worse every round. In closing, both down. 48.—The men had not room for their exertions. The spectators were close upon the combatants, and the utmost disorder prevailed. In closing, Langan threw Spring. 49.—Some severe struggling; the English Champion fibbing Langan till he went down. 50.—The face of Spring did not exhibit any marks of punishment, but the left hand of Langan had told now and then upon his body. The English Champion appeared getting weak from the struggles, and from several heavy falls. Both down. 51.—The rounds were now short—the crowd pressing upon the men at every step they took. Spring received a heavy hit on the side of his head. In closing, both went down. 52.—Close quarters. An exchange of blows; both again down. 53.—Langan hit Spring, and also got him down. 54.—The English Champion had no room now to jump away from his antagonist. Spring, in closing, fibbed Langan down. 55.—Struggling for the throw, but Langan undermost.
