HEAVIES TOP 14TH AF CARD
CHINA - A large hangar at one of the 14th Air Force bases became China's Madison Square Garden recently when 16 "Flying Tiger" boxers slugged it out before 3,000 G.I.'s with two knockouts featuring the card. Sgt. Andy Polen kayoed Sgt. Tommy Nelson in the final seconds of the third and closing round with a right uppercut to feature the heavyweight competition. Sylvester Hendricks won a TKO over Bob Healy in the final bout of the night. There were three draws in bouts featuring Cpl. Lenny Valentini and S/Sgt. Joe Ruscigno; Sgt. James Wilson and Pfc. Johnny Pellagrino and Sgts. Willard Smith and Danny Saas. In other battles Sgt. William Hanes won over Sgt. Andy LaCassa; Sgt. Mike Haverne defeated Cpl. Irvine Woods. Capt. Mark Conn, former Golden Gloves lightweight champ in 1936, put on an exhibition match with Cpl. Malvian Shields. |
