His adversary, Whip Smith, swayed with exhaustion and glistened with sweat, having suffered several power moves and debilitating holds. At six feet two inches and 244 solid pounds, Bradley's height and conditioning lent him a visible advantage as the match pressed on. The crowd of over fifteen thousand shouted and shifted as the grapplers studied one another. Smith summoned his remaining strength and lunged, but Bradley ducked under his clumsy offensive and moved behind him. Smith rebounded off the ropes, and took a flying dropkick from Bradley, which sent him down. |
