Klesch gave good heating 10 Freddie
Block tonight In their ten round bout.
Block did not seem Ia be ut his best. II
was real fight and had the battle been
over the six round route probably the
verdict would have gone to Block. The
first TWO rounds were even. Block took
the third and had a shade in the next
three Then he slowed up and Klesch
settled matters. kiesch came strong In
the seventh eighth. ninth and tenth
sessions and had wide margins in each
round Block lost his defense and his
heed was rocked repeatedly by klesches
, rights and lcfts. and he nearly had
Block out in the tenth round, but the
scrap ended without the sleep producer
