Tony, one of the grandest little
fighters In modern ring history, has
wanted to fight McLarnin for four
years. But like Pop Foster, Canzonerl's
manager, Sammy Goldman always has
opposed the match.
McLarnin. who hadn't fought since
he lost the welterweight title to Barney
Ross last May, clearly showed the
effects Of his long lay-off.
His timing was terrible. He tried
early and Canzoneri's masterful foot
work and boxing skill made the Irish
man miss repeatedly with Sunday
punches that might have spelled dis

there was no stopping him. He waded
IN and beat up McLarnin numerically.
1t was only when the Italian elected
to stand still and slug that Jimmy
was able to connect often enough to
win rounds.
The only thing that resembled q
knockdown came in the second, when
Canzoneri dropped McLarnin to one
knee with a terrific right-hander.
Jimmy was up again before the count
started.

to-5 underdog in the betting. came
back to give Jimmy McLarnin, once
ruler Of all the welters, one Of the
worst defeats In the Irishman's II
years Of brilliant ring campaigning.
After that hectic first round. in
which McLarnin seemed headed for
an early knockout, 1t was mostly
Canzoneri. Spotting the Celt six and
one-half pounds, Canzoneri won seven
OF the remaining nine rounds.
He punched McLarnin with two
fisted attack to capture the second,
third, fifth, sixth and seventh and all
but had the game but tired Vancouver
