Ex-Champ Drops
Comeback Fight
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — I
John Holman, a 5-1 underdog,
launched a vicious surprise at
tack in the ninth round Wed- i
nesday night to stop Ezzard
Charles, former world heavy
weight champion, on a technical
knockout.
Charles, who had gone down
once for a nine count, was reel- 1
ing helplessly away from Hol
man when referee Eddie Coach
man stopped the fight at 2:48
of the ninth round. Until then,
the 33-year-old ex-champion had
been leading on points.
Nalls Charles
Holman, who seemed to run
out of gas in the fourth round,
offered little opposition to
Charles until the start of the j
ninth, when he nailed the Cin
cinnati Negro with a left-right
left combination.
The unexpected barrage stag
gered Charles and another left
from Holman dropped him on his
back. He got to his knees on
the count of eight and was up
at nine. Then Holman rushed into
him with such enthusiasm that
both fighters fell.
Three Rights End Fight
When they got up, Holman
smashed three straight rights to I
Charles' head and Coachman
stopped the fight with Charles
on the verge of going down
again.
Holman, a 27-year-old Chicago
Negro with no ranking, weighed
202^t. Charles, the fourth rank
ing heavy, came in at 193 (-2.

three. Rich Butler was doing the
twirling for the Sig’s, and Ted
Larsen was on the mound for the
Phi Delta, when the game was
suspended at 6 p.m.
