The story

The Sky-Piercing Knee stood tall and turned the clinch into a weapon no one in his era could survive. He was so dominant at lightweight that the stadiums eventually could not find anyone willing to face him, and he walked away at the top rather than on a loss. His knee game is still taught as the blueprint.
