With Monty, James kept getting in the right hand, more of a right cross. Dropped him in the second. In the seventh, he caught him again, Monty was hurt, and he just kept whaling away at him with lefts and rights until McSherry stopped it. Monty protested the stoppage, but as he did so, he staggered to his corner, barely able to stand up. Another shot and he was going down.
Monty was bigger, had heaps of guys as part of his entourage, better sparring, and was the champ. Langton's sparring partner was Rapira, and his entourage was his coach and wife. Interestingly, he insisted on listening to the national anthem, while Tua said Monty wasn't interested. As Monty left the ring, I opened the corridor doors for him and told him "tough luck." He said, "I'm done." He fought a decent fight, but he just took what Monty offered and offered more.
