nets rieia iriurnpa since uuiy o,
1953.

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.

OAKLAND. Calif. WV-Tlike It
from a man who has fought both
of them:
Middleweight champion Carl i Bo
bo) Olson will beat Rocky Castel
liuil when they meet for the title
in Snn Francisco Aug. 20.
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.
Midland Wins

the Big Y team by a 21-3 score.
