L'ount knockdown in the sixth
round of Friday night's wild fight
it the Cow Palace to earn a split
10-round decision over the erst
while number one middleweight
contender.
A crowd of about 8.230, who
turned out for the nationaily-tele
vised bout, unloosed a terrific roar
when Robinson was declared the
winner.
Referee Jack Downey and Judge
Frankie Carter voted the fight to
Sugar Ray 56 54. while Judge Jack
Silver saw it Castellani 56-5-1. The
United Press stayed with Robin

Robinson weighed 159' i, Castel

Castellani. sticking to his ad
vance billing as a fighter who has
junked the hit-and-run technique.
sent Robinson sprawling to all
fours in the sixth when he caught
him with a savage right to the
head followed by a left hook and
a right chop.
But Robinson, who had beer
knocked out only once in his life
pulled his addled wits together
survived the round, then went or
to stagger Castellani with his leg
endary combinations which wen
enough to put him back in busi
ness. Castellani, over-anxious, slipper1
to the canvas twice when he missed
wild rights in the seventh rowM1
while trying to put Robinson away
after pulling a similar maneuver
in the fifth. In the meantime. Sug
ar Ray used every trick he knew
to stay alive during the Cleveland
er's wild-eyed onslaught.
The strategy worked and in the
eighth a fresher Ray Robinson
buzzed his left and right flurries
to the stomach again, then stag
gered Rocky with a solid right to
the jaw.
In the ninth round, the old com
hinations clicked as Castellani was
dazed and sent on his way to de
feat by a whistling left and right
to the hend.
George Gainford. Robinson's
manager, proclaimed that Rav def
initety was in line to meet Olson
whom he has defeated twice i
the nasi,
"lie beat the number-one con

Al Nniman, multi-millionaire
manager of the loser, shouted that
he would protest the decision to

'It was a bad decision." Nai-i
