Champ Wins
Non-Title
Fight Monday
Salt Lake City, Ntah (U.R)
Gene Fullmer, welder, mink
rancher and middleweight box
ing champion, has ably demon
stiated that he intends to keep
his title for a long time.
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.
