Cartier
By JACK HAND
NEW YORK W "From now on,
call me Jolting Joey."
Joe Giardello, a technical knock
out winner over Walter Cartier in
2:48 of the first round, was talking
about himself last night in his
dressing room.
"I like the feci of those knock
downs," he said. "I've been letting
those guys get off the hook too
long. From now on, I'm out to stop
'em all."
It was the second straight fight
in which Joe's opponent had failed
to last the limit. He stopped Garth
Panter, the rugger! Salt Lake City
mauler, in his last previous start,
Jan. 8. That was the first time
Printer hadn't gone the route.
THREE TIMES
Giardello dropped Cartier three
times, automatically stopping the
fight under rules of the New York
State Athletic Commission. Ref
eree Horry Kessler ended matters
as soon as the 29-year-old New
York veteran went down for the
third time, all from right hands.
"I was going to tell the referee
about the rule If he hadn't stopped
It. I know all about the New York
rules. I oughta." .
Giardello, of course, is the boxer
who holds a Supreme Court de
cision over Bob Chrlstenberry,
chairman of the New York State
Commission, t ,
After . the bout, Chrlstenberry
said he would favor a change in
the rules to take Into considera
tion a third knockdown with only
a few seconds to go.
STRONG
Cartier, 161, to Giardello's 15T,i,
said he was strong enough to con
tinue if the bout hadn't been
stopped. He was up at five after
the first knockdown, scored by a
stunning right that was Giardello's
best punch of the night. He was
up at two the second time and
popped up at two the last time.
Of course, he had to take the auto
matic eight on the first two knock
downs. Like all good little middleweights,
Giardello started yelling for cham
pion Bobo Olson after his victory.
Olson won't be available until after
he defends his title against Kid
Gavilan at Chicago, April 2. Joe
is the no. 2 challenger In the latest
ring ratings.
A crowd of 4.851 paid $13,378
to see the nationally televised
fight.
