his nine-year boxing career tonight

Saverio Turiello of Italy in the To-

favored and. by the same token. sell

was picked to lose.

than Lucas and there have been no

orally is conceded to pack the more
persuasive punch. 1t all narrows
down as to how frequently saverio

the intervals won't be too occasional.
