Young Colima 5 hand in token Of
victory ever Pete Sarmiento. Fill.
rino veteran. il marked the end OF a
great fight, and a coed card.
Colima is the same young man
who knocked Pedro Villa into dream
land last week, only then he was
working under his own name-Bcrt
Alya. Young Colima is his monick-
cr for the boN-fight game. 1t seems
to make little differnee under which
name he fightS-he fights.
Sormicnto, veteran of many 4
hard bout, and at one time within
reach of a world 5 title, lost for the
first time in five years. The lit
tie Filipino fought a good battle,
hut Colima fought better one.
The latter is on the Johnny Risko
type, bouncing, bounding. hitting
land getting away, and showing the
greater part Of his defense by a
continual offense.
There was little to choose between
tile two boys for the first three
rounds, but in the third Colima OPP
ened up and backing Pete into a
corner, played heigh hottie merryo
en- the Filipino 5 head. Pete would
have been finished right there but
he used his head, hugged Colima in
close, and worked out of the tough
spot just before the bell ended the
round.
Sarmiento took the next round by
q hair, making his big effort to put
away the pest that kept slipping
short punches through his guard to
land right on the Sarmiento nose.
1t was a good try but it didn't work
Colima continued to bounce and
punch his way through the remain
ing rounds. He didn't have any
great advantage in any of them, but
it was enough to keep him cut in
front. One might be tempted to give
Pete the ninth round, when he land
ed several hard body punches, hut
they did not bother Colima whC
met Pete every time he bored in
With short, choppy blows that hurt
ard bothered the veteran.
1t was a nice fight and the fellow
countrymen of Sarmiento cheered
him Justify every time he landed q
blow. Their wells were joined By
those of everyone else in the slash

though both men must 90 down
They both lacked enough steam
however, for finishing blow.
Porter Loses
Leonard Porter lost the first Il
rounder to Tommy Elks, and while
he didn't lose it by great deal, the
edge was clearly to EIks who did
the heavier part of the fighting in
the second half.
Porter kept out in front in the
early part Of the fight, using his
long left to block Tommy 5 style OF
getting in close and failing away
He didn t always succeed. but held
his own when Elks did get in close
