The boxer
Dallow seldom agreed with the first description of a contest. He did not routinely dispute results, but he was particular about how they were obtained. A short record and a long explanation often travel together in his papers. He was particularly concerned with the difference between being driven backwards and choosing to give ground. The distinction mattered to his counter-punching, and he expected an account to preserve it. His own notes are not always brief, but they are useful in showing what he thought he had been trying to accomplish.
Recorded style: Counter-puncher.
