One More Round

At the end of the 20th century, a boxer named James "Gentleman Jim" Corbett(1866-1933),held the heavyweight championship title of the world for five consecutive years (1892-1897)defeating the great John Sullivan who was undefeated till then.

When someone asked him what the key to it was, he answered with
these words:

"Fight one more round. When your feet are so tired that you
have to shuffle back to the center of the ring, fight one more round. When
your arms are so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard,
fight one more round. When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black,
fight one more round. When you are so tired that you wish your opponent
would crack you on the jaw and put you to sleep, fight one more round.
Always remembering that the man who fights one more round is never
whipped. . . . . He is always battling one more round."
