FALLEN RAINMAN. Ray Austin shows no eagerness to rise,
as Eddie Cotton counts

" Rainman Ray Austin lost the fight two weeks earlier, in the Gym. Before that he would only give me three rounds of sparring, twice I got four rounds, and we would go at a very fast pace.

I would take it to him. As soon as he was tired, three rounds on, Austin would tell his coach to get me out and put in the other sparring partner, his good friend, and they would just go through the motions.

It was sickening - and to give himself even less chance, he did not even show up for the last week of sparring.

I was there every day, gloved up and waiting. He was worried because I hit him with good shots.

He has not got the Heart of Lamon Brewster. Brewster was getting hit every day in sparring, but his body and resistance were used to it when he fought Wladimer! [ he made Wladimir quit].

. . . At the moment my training with Magic Mark Janssen, is going great, He is the best trainer in Australia, I believe.We are working on new things, a lot of leverage.

I will be in the best shape and best style of my career when I see action in April. This is the year I will be Heavyweight Champ. You can print the whole lot. Thanks. m8 ! "
