Not Through, Declares Sharkey
Ignorant of How and When He Was Knocked Out,
Accepts His Defeat Gracefully.

'How did it happen? What round
was it? How was I doing?"
A few words filled the gaps that
Cameras right uppercut made in
his brain.
"You had everything up to the
fourth" he was told.
Then what round was 1t, the
fourth" he demanded.
He was told that Cranera knocked
him out with a right uppercut, fol-
lowing several heavy blows to the
body after 2 minutes q seconds in
the sixth round. But this news did
not seem to stir him much.
He appeared to have reconciled
himself to such an ending long ago.
but when asked If he was going to
retire, he denied it.
Am I going to hang up my gloves?
No, I'm not. I'm going to fight again
In q couple Of weeks. When I'm not
50 rusty. That's what is wrong with
me now"
That's up to jack" Manager
Johnny Buckley said. In the IL
years we have been together, he has
always made his own decisions about
when he would fight and when he
would not. If he wants to fight
again, he will It Is up to him."

ing heavyweight champion of the world,
fell on his face just after Primo Car
nera landed a terrific right uppercut,
that caught him squarely on the jaw.
At the count of ten Sharkey, the
champion, was still as cold as frozen
herring, unable to move.
Camera, far behind as this round
started, suddenly swarmed all over the
Boston COB, just after the bell rang
for the sixth. He knocked Sharkey
down with heavy left that was full
Of lead-he hammered and battered him
all over the ring-and then, as final
climax, he started right uppercut from
his right knee with enough force to
sink a battleship.
AS the punch landed, Sharkey whirled
in the air as he fell, completely un-
conscious as Referee Arthur Donovan
tolled eff the count that named new
heavyweight champion of the world.

At the end of the fifth round Shar-
key was far ahead on points. He had
won three rounds by a wide margin to
Cameras one. He had led each attack
and counter attack. He had taken
charge of frontal and flank attack: He
had outboxed Carnera and seemed to be
on his way to certain victory.
But all this time the gigantic italian
was fighting back. He was taking
Sharkeys heaviest punches on chin and
stomach without showing any signs of
worry. Sharkey might just as well have
been hitting hydrant. 1t was wham-
