Carter Loses
To Boardman
BOSTON W Confident Larry
Boardman who gained national
acclaim as a stand-in looked
forward Wednesday to a light
weight title match alter adding
Jimmy Carter to his list of vic
tims.
The right hand was every
thing," the 20-year old Marl
borough. Conn., youth said Tues
day nicht in the dressing room
afler flooring the embattled 32-year-old
Carter three times in the
eighth round for a technical
knockout at 1:35.
Boardman weighed 137, Carter
139.
Boardman, rated the No. 1 con
tender for Joe Brown's light
weight crown by Ihe National Box
ing Assn., had hurt Carter with
his short, overpowering right in
the second round. Jimmy never
quite got over it.
Each time afler going down un
der rights in the eighth, Carter
got up at three but referee Jimmy
McCnrron stepped In shortly after,
tho third one. Carter had been
knocked down only twice before
in 104 fights.

statement after handing Art Hplf

4 under par to the finish of a 7 and
