Herman Graves. southern Cali
fornia middleweight h m p o II,
WILL fight in Brawley athletic
club, And he will fight for Match
maker Floyd Brown anytime the
northend promoter will line up a
suitable opponent"
So said Cal Mousseau, manager
of the FL Centro Bomber, in COM
menting on the misunderstanding
between his fighter and the Braw-
ley matchmaker.
Graves, who was forced to can
Gel matches at both the Brawley
and Ell Centr0 arena several
weeks ago because of shoulder
injury sustained in match
against Joe Perris of San Diego,
agreed to fight in Brawley as
soon as his injury healed.
The Tuesday before he was scne-
duled to meet Art Gonzalez in the
Brawley ring he was asked, by
Brown, to appear in the Brawley
arena to accept the challenge OF
the San Diego middleweight.
According to MousSeau, however,
Graves was unable to appear in
Brawley to accept the match but
Mousseau called Brown to inform
him that Graves was willing to go
through with the bout.
The match between Graves and
Gonzalez was announced from the
ring despite the fact Graves was
not present but the next day Brown
announced his card and Palmer and
Navarro were in the main event
instead of Graves and Gonzalez.
Mousseau then called Brown but
the Brawley matchmaker said he
did not need the Bomber. Nous
seau accepted the situation and told
Brown he could use the Bomber
at any time.
"The fact that Brown refused to
use Graves after I called him to
inform him that the Bomber was
available, would indicate Nous
