He can “see’* almost every blow struck in a boxing bout, can describe city building and street scenes accurately and ride a bicycle through traffic. He was stricken with blindness during infancy and it has been proved he is totally blind. After attending a boxing match he describes the bout, blow for blow, his friends say.
