The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Mucker by Edgar Rice Burroughs: wonder, the mucker lowered his guard and took the wallop
full on the jaw. The blow seemed never to jar him the least.
The "hope" swung again, and there stood Billy Byrne, like a
huge bronze statue taking blow after blow that would have
put an ordinary man down for the count.
The fans saw and appreciated the spectacular bravado of
the act, and they went wild. Cheer on cheer rose, hoarse and
deafening, to the rafters. The "white hope" lost his self-control
and what little remained of his short temper, and deliberately
struck Billy a foul blow, but before the referee could interfere
the mucker swung another just such blow as he had missed
