Giardello Decisions Bill Kilgore PHILADELPHIA Joey Giar dello nursed a sore left side of bis face today but to ease bis pain the Philadelphia middleweight had a nice fat check and a victory that kept him in line for a title fight. The 23-year-old Giardello tuned up last night for an expected 160 pound title shot in October by lam basting Billy Kilgore of Miami. He won a unanimous 10-round ver dict with the use of a sharp left hook and a potent overhand right. Kilgore, who earned this bout with the nation's third-ranking mid dleweight through a series of up set wins, was out of his class. If 11 hadn't been for an unintentional butt that opened a severe cut about an Inch under Giardello's left eye on the cheek, there would n't have been any contest. Oiardello was fighting two bat tles, protecting the badly damaged cheek and trying to pile up enough points to win the verdict. From the second round on, he had to be mindful of the blood flowing down his cheek. The ringside physician examined it before the third round started. But cut and all, Giardello proceeded to pound the 28-year-old Birmingham, Ala., native into sub mission. 1 Kilgore weighed 162V4, Giardello, 158.

Pedro Gonzales, 31-year-old Ne gro boxer from Rankin. Pn.. ex pressed the opinion last night after he had been knocked out in four rounds by Olson In their scheduled 10 round nonlttle bout. Gonzales previously lost a close, split decision to Castellani in Rocky's home, Cleveland. A Jolting right uppercut put Oon sales on his back last night, and although he was on his feet when Referee Max Baer counted 10, he was a beaten fighter. Commies said the punch hit him on the Adam's apple, but rtng slders saw It continue to land on his Jaw. The knockdown came in 3:97 of the fourth. Olson weighed 167. Oonzoles, 163. Gonzales had never been counted out before In 30 lights and had lost only lour. "Olson is a much better fighter," he said. "He punches sharper and more often, but I think Castellani punches harder.' ',, Gonzales took' a beating, al though he said Olson's punches did not hurt him. He stood up under a barrage of hard blows, but Olson's body attack with occasional punch es to the head appeared to wear him down.
