The bull-necked Utah boxer gave that impression Monday night by lathering rugged Wilf Greaves of Pittsburgh, for an unanimous 10-round decision in a non-title and overweight slug fest in the Utah Fairgrounds coliseum. It was Fullmer's first bout since he dethroned Sugar Ray Robinson Jan. 2 at New York City. While Fullmer won the unanimous nod, he was unable to floor the courageous former Canadian Amateur champ who was making only his 16th ap pearance as a professional. Fullmer used his usual bruis ing, boring-in style to carry the fight most of the way. But the plaudits of the 3,000 fans went to the visitor whose red and bruised body was evidence of a thorough pounding at the hands of the champion. The Utah favorite, weighing 1601-4, took command in the fourth round, but only after Greaves, weighing 162, opened a small cut over his left eye in the first round. After the third, Greaves, who has a style similar to the champ ion, was content to slug it out at close range. While he was on the receiving end of the champ's devastating body attack Greaves won raves from the fans for his fine retaliating. t .... vv , Tuesday, January 29, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE ANOTHER YEAR Quar terback Y.
