Richard Humphreys (CC0)
Bare knuckles – whelps and bruises make,
No Ali dancing, but standing firm – His ground he takes –
Pugilistic warrior –
His honour and the prince’s forty thousand at stake –
Crowds of ten thousand, surround the ring –
Where neither George nor Daniel, but Richard is king.
Padre
Based on the second Mendoza-Humphries fight of 9 January 1788.
Very nice!
