Payon Beats Brooks
Andy Brooks ran into lots of fists !
IN his encounter with Mike Payon. !
Mike is really several jumps ahead !
of Brooks when it comes to rating !
fjstic performers, He is a main 60 !
boy who has licked some of thcI
best in his class. He showed his
ability in the first two rounds.
Brooks, nottd for speed, looked !
like slow movies when Payon went !
into action, The San Diego scrappcr
hits hard and often aud cutting
Brooks down with terrific lofts to /
the body he fclled him twice for
counts Of eight in the first frame. |
IT looked like flowers for Andy |
right off the bat but ne managed !
TO get to the bell although it found !
him on the mat in the second knock
Gown.
In the third frame the Deacon did |
everything he could to keep out of
the way of Payon's mitts but he
was far from successful. PaYou
punched him around the ring and
again clipped him to the mat just
before the bell.
