Tunney Breezes to Victory
There was nothing much TO the de-
thronement of Levinsky. 1t was just
case of Barnev's experience being in
suficinet to hold off the rushcs of his
younger foe, who was the aggressor

harder, Tunncy took Lcvinsky's left
jabs early in the mill but the battling

kept piing into Levinsky. directing his
attack Mt Barnev's body and switching
occasionally to the head.
levinSky evidently knew he was

last few rounds he opened up and took
chances with right hand leads to the
