Livermore Whips Monte
The show begin with a four-round
scrap between Joe Livermore and Kid
Monte, pair of new ones to local fans,
and it resulted in a lively mill The
first round was hummer, both boys
fighting so fiercely that it seemed that
one of them would win by a knockout
during the round, and it was an even
break at the gong. The second round
was just as fierce, but Livermore was
cleverer, il the word may be used in
referring to either, and took up good
lead before the gong ended hostiities.
There was no change in the third, Liv-
ermore merely increasing his lead by
timely wallops to the jaw that stag
gered Monte several times. The fourth
round was another hummer, Monte try
ing to make a winning finish, but Liv-
ermore easily outpointed and out
sugged him and had a wide margin
of advantage at the end, winning an
easy victory.
Kelly Defeats Martin
The second prelim was another four
round bout, in which Kid Martin, who
knocked out Charlie Butler, the negro
scrapper, at San Pedro last Thursday
night, and Willie Kelly were the prin-
milling in the opening round and
showed a good punch and much ag-
gressiveness. They started rough
house tactics in the second and slugged |
fiercely throughout the round, Kelly
easily holding his lead by aggressive |
and rather clever work and constant
slugging. Kelly gave Martin a fearful
beating in the third and was on top
of him all the time, slamming hard to |
head and jaw and completely bewilder- |
ing Martin. The latter managed to
swing a right to the eye and cut a !
cash that started the claret, but it did
not slow Kelly at all. The fourth round
was the best of the fight, and they
went at the job of making winning
finish like a pair of injured tigers.
Martin was all in however, and mar
rowly escaped a knockout when Kelly
walloped him with right swings to the
head and jaw upon two occasions. Kelly |
won the decision by wide margin.
