Cats Phono (13 Cerdan Favored To Beat LaMotta In Titular Battle By JACK HAND DETROIT, June 15. OPy Marcel Cerdan, the carefree fighting man from French Mor occo, risks his world middle weight title for the first time tonight at Briggs Stadium against squat Jake LaMotta, an 8 to 5 underdog from New York's teem ing Bronx. Cash from Jake's home prov ince, where he has an Interest in two small fight clubs beat down the price on Cerdan who opened a 5 to 12 choice. It may go even lower by ring time for the 15-round bout, scheduled at approximately 10 p.m.. The fight will not be broadcast or tele vised. From this corner It looks like Cerdan, largely on the basis of the old cuts around LaMotta's eyes that keep-re-opening in every fight. Marcel doesn't hit hard enough to dump Jake on h' panties but his slashing hooks are just the thing to slice tender brows. LaMotta never has been knock ed off his feet in 88 fights. Beaten, yes, 13 tlmps, including a "knockout" by Billy Fox, Nov. 14, 1947, but never on the deck. Even In the Fox affair, stopped by the referee to save Jake from further punishment, he sagged but refused to go down. LaMotta has one style a swarming, bullish attack. When tired, he pauses and sticks out his head, inviting punches to his solid jaw. Only a body punch er can whip Jake. Cerdan Is a canny master, capable of fight ing several different styles. He will throw the book at one-style LaMotta. Cerdan lost only three of 99 fights. The only legitimate Cer dan loss was to Cyrille Dellanoit at Brussels, May 23, 1948. The other two were on fouls.
