The boxer

Pell was known for deliberate work at close range and for remembering the details of an agreement. He would discuss a purse in the same measured voice he used to request another chair for his corner. He preferred an agreement to be settled before the gloves and towels were brought out. Once a contest began, his attention narrowed to the work in front of him. His record contains both patient successes and difficult evenings against opponents able to leave the inside distance before he established a rhythm. For Pell, settling the terms was part of settling his attention.

Recorded style: Body puncher.
