Wild Bill is remembered here for his showings against Bull Montana a d Kurt von Poppen heim last winter. He has anoth er years experience under his belt now and figures to be pretty rough guy to beat. Bill is an ex-Navy champion and all in all is a pretty rugged individual. Beat Montana His opponent, Carreon, won on a foul against Bull Montana three weeks ago and proved to be a real crowd pleaser. Tito is known in the Southwest as the "Elvis Presley of Mexico." He wears long sideburns and is a handsome hunk of man. Many fans predict a future comparable to Pepper Gomez for him. Tito says he will be giving away 20 pounds to Savage but will make up for it with his greater speed. The attractive double portion of the main event will feature Alec Perez, the ex-boxer. against popular and handsome Reg Parks. Perez defeated Pierre DeGIane here three weeks ago and proved himself to be pretty rough. Parks is built like Lou Thesz and can take care of him self in any kind of company.

"I'll do better against Calhoun than I did in this one," Giardel lo said after scoring a split de cision over Randy Sandy, a 9-2 underdog in a 10-round battle at the Chicago Stadium Wednes day night. The win was Giardello's sev enth straight ring triumph and ended Sandy s string at five. "I was overconfident," Gia- dello said. "I thought I'd knock him out in two rounds. I thought that for the last couple of weeks ever since I signed for the match. "But I just couldn't get off. I don't know what was wrong, the Philadelphia battler said. Giardello, ranked second among the middleweights by the National Boxing Association, was unimpressive in beating Sandy for his 65th win in 83 professional starts. Referee Walter Brightmore gave him a 48-44 edge and Judge Spike McAdams a 47-45 margin. Judge Frank Clark's vote went to Sandy, 47-46.
