MAIL TRIBUNE Fiore Beats Nocero; Gets 2nd TV Bout New York (U.R) Welter weight Carmine Fiore of Brook lyn, back in action with a "new face" and an improved right hand, will get another TV fight at St. Nicholas Arena on Dec. 19 because of Monday night's victory over Middleweight Rin zy Nocero. "Thirteen months rest gave me a new face," said left-hooker Fiore today. "It never cut once. Not even a scratch around my eyes." Swarthy, broad- shouldered Carmine, who won a unanimous 10-round decision over fellow Brooklynite Nocero at St. Nick's, will be back in the same ring four weeks hence with Danny Giovanelli, also of Brooklyn. Fewer Face Cuts Fiore was happy about his face because face-cuts in the past had caused him to suffer eight technical knockouts. After his last kayo by Vine Martinez on Oct. 29, 1954, .he took a long rest to let time and the sun heal his wounds properly. Twenty-six-year-old Carmine, favored at 9-5, weighed 149 pounds to Nocero's looVfc. His left hooks beat bigger Rinzy, but the hardest punch of the fight was Carmine's right to the chin that buckled Rinzy 's knees in the sixth round. Nocero is 24. The official rounds vote fa vored Fiore 5-4-1, 6-4, 6-4. The United Press had it 6-4. It was Carmine's 48th victory in 71 fights and Nocero's fourth defeat in 30. The Dec. 19th fight with Gio vanelli will be a return bout. Carmine outpointed him on Sept. 11, 1953. FAUROT WON'T SAY Columbia, Mo.
