BY BOB ALLEN

Well, our promise was fulfilled
last night. also a bit OF amateur
prophesving which we attempted
Yesterday. We had promised the
fans four bouts packed with good
fighting at the arena and no one
who was there can say they were
not good scraps from start to fin
ish. We also limited that there
might be two knockouts during the
evenings fiesta, and, 10, there were:
one clean. the other technical. 80
there you are, and here are the har-
rowing details.
In the main event between Jim
my Black and Ramon MontoEa, the
full 10 rounds were needed bcf0re
Ramon copped the decision. From
start to finish with the exception
of three rounds, Montoya went after
Jimmy in a business-like fashion,
shooting at him from all angles
and covering him with blows OF
every description. However, Jim
nv showed a very clever defense
last night and il was different MI
last night. and it was difficult for
Ramon to get through to vulner-
able spot with any regularity.
Montova took the decision IN the
last three rounds when he showed
more speed and threw more gloves
than Jimmy. who had slowed up
very much after a good start. jam
mv's best punch was q left Jab to
the face and right cross to the
side of the head which ioltcd RAJ
mon considerably but could not
keep him from swinging right back
itno action and getting his man.
In the ninth an apparently low
blow received by MontoYa stopped
the scrap for a few seconds but Ka-
mon was not hurt and the proceed
ings continued. After that he Just
tore in and kept the upper hand for
the rest of the fight.
The only real kayoe of the eve
ming came in the semi-final between
Mariana Cebu of FL Centre amt
jimmy Hart, of Hollywood. The
bows were introduced, met for IN
structions, squared off and danced
about for Just one minute when 'ebu
hung one on Jimmy's chin and II
was all over Hart sank to the
floor. pulling Cebu on top Of hlm
and the count went on. The wal
lop sure did put Hart out, for It
was some time after the scrap had
ended that he came to and was ablc
to take an interest in things again.
In the special six-round bout,
Louie REYES outboxcd and out
fought Carl Hagar from start to
finish until Referee Bill Tackctt
stopped the fight halfway through
the fifth round and gave the deci-
sion to Reyes. Hagar had been
absorbing oceans. Of punishment
throughout and had the scrap con-
tinued he would inevitably have
been taken for the count, AS Reyes
WAS clouting him with sickening reg
ularity in the stomach with iolts
that brought grunts every time one
landed.
Reyes Shows Superiority
Reeves showed his superiority over
the San Bernardino boy from the
very start, as he tore right IN and
pummeled him with hard rights and
lefts to the head and stomach. He
had Carl on the floor five times,
three of which were for no count
and his left hook was working with
piston-likc precision. He beat Ha-
gar to the punch and just handed
out enough punishment to last three
or four men. In the fourth frame
Carl hung on in an effort to wealth
er the storm. and his left was raw
from the solid jolts Reyes handed
him. 1t was good fight and
showed that Reyes is a scrappcr to
be reckoned with and one who will
al~ays provide thrills for the fans
by the fight he puts up.
But, that preliminary. Another
vow, with the two star performers
/ in the leading roles and the sand
ending. 4 switch was made yes
terday which brought Kid Mexico
and Tiger Flowers together again
and from start to finish Of the four
round bout the fans were in state
of continuous frenzy.
AS in the two previous encounter,
between these fighters, Tiger pound.
