Knocks Out Fairbanks
The return match which Howard
Baker gave Willie Fairbanks was the
| and followed the preliminary bouts,
Baker knocked out Fairbanks in the
fourteenth round of their bout at San
Bernardino recently. but Fairbanks
claimed that he was out OF condition
| and they were rematched. Both ap-
peared to be in fine trim when they
entered the ring.
Baker led off in the first minute of
the opening round with stiff left hook
to the jaw and followed 1t up with a
terrific swing right to the hear. Fair
banks began to bleed at the nose be-
fore the round was half over. Baker
jabbed a stiff left to the face and
hooked his right to the jaw, staggering
Fairbanks, but they were fighting
fercely at the gong. 1t was Bakers
round by a wide margin.
Baker continued his aggressive tao
tics In the second and forced Fairbanks
to break ground under a vigorous as
sault. Baker played his left stiffly to
the face and alternated almost invari-
ably with a right swing to the head.
Baker smashed his left to the face
three times in quick succession, putting
his entire Weight behind the blows and
sending Fairbanks tottering backward,
following 1t up with vicious swing to
the head that Fairbanks partly ducked.
Baker also had a big lead in this round.
Fairbanks landed a hard left swing
third, and Baker put over a stiff right
hook to the jaw moment later. They
fought determinedly in this round and
mixed it in a manner that indicated
that ten rounds should be entirely
enough in which to settle their quar-
rel. Baker swung his right twice. to
the head without return, and Fair
banks seemed to be weakening under
the beating he was taking. 1t was
Bakers round.
Baker fought Fairbanks into his own
corner and put over stiff right hook
to the jaw that caused Fairbanks to
break ground and run away. Baker
kept working his left straight into
the face throughout the round and
gave Fairbanks a severe drubbing un-
til the gong. 1t was Boxers round by
good margin.
Baker rushed Fairbanks to the ropes
at the start of the fifth, with a sue
cession of lefts to the face. and after
getting him on the ropes Baker
smashed him with a right swing to
the head that caused him to wobble.
Fairbanks did little else than stall
through this round, seeming to be con-
tent to block and cover up to avoid
punishment, only occasionally making
a rallying effort. Baker hammered him
all around the ring and had a good
lead at the gong.
Fairbanks was very tired when he
responded for the sixth. He made only
occasional efforts at fighting back and
permitted Baker to back him about
the ring, covering up and clinching to
avoid punishment. Once OF twice Fair
