ter a long string of victories over
lessor lighfa of the division, the
big, black-haired Pole established
pounding out a clean-cut win over
old Johnny Risko, the Cleveland
rubber man, In Madison Square Gar
den. Risko rallied In tho rlrvthiir
rounds but could not overcome the
leng lead piled up by his voune on
ponent In the early stages.

The excitement attending Poreda's
surprising victory was too much for
one of the 8200 spectators. Rudy

Poreda's guest, died a few minutes
after the verdict was announced, sup
posedly of heart failure.
Although the Associated Press
score sheet credited Poreda with six
rounds and Risko with only two, the
decision as the three officials was
not unanimous. The two Judges
named Poreda, but Referee Kid Mc
Partland picked the veteran Risko.
Alter stopping Risko's Initial rush
with a hard right to the chin that
set the Clcvelander back on his heels,
Poreda continued to swarm over the
baker boy for the first five rounds.
He Jarred the veteran repeatedly with
a long left and crossed wicked rights
to the head and body. Risko had
much difficulty connecting with a
looping right, his principal weapon.
No Knockdowns j
When the youngster slowed up in
the sixth, Johnny charged him all
over the ring, taking plenty of
punches hut landing a few on his
own hook. The result was that he
earned a draw In the sixth and
tenth and had an edge In the sev
enth and ninth. There were no
knockdowns.
Poreda entered the ring at 198 V&
pounds; Risko 194. .
