Jack zivic has q lot to learn before
he can hope to make even Il rea.
sonable showing against the cham
piOn. Zivic took eight Ut the twelve
rounds ii very handy fashion The
third and ninth were Rarharian's,
while the eighth and twelfth were
even. Both boys weighed 1S6
pounds.
In the first and second rounds
Zivic gave the Armenian q boxing
lesson. He ripped home clean shots
that made the Armenian southpaw
wonder what it was all about.
zivic probably never looked better
in his entire career than he did
In those first two stanzas when
Barbarian was doing his stuff. In
the third round Barbarian seemed
to get the range and he rakeds the
Pittsburgher with wicked left
swings. One 81 these caught Zivic
on the chin and he spun across the
ring and landed on one knee. He
was surprised but not hurt ana he
took no count
Zivic took the fourth in handy
fashion. ana IN the fifth, which saw
some fierce milling, he gained q
slight advantage. Zivic also took
the sixth easily. The next two were
close. Barbarian had the ninth by
slight margin, but the Pittsburgh
boy staged q rally in the tenth ana
punched Barbarian all over the
ring. The eleventh was Zivic,s
easily and SO was the twelfth.
