GONZALEZ AND

BOXING SHOW
FIGHTING LIGHTWEIcHTS
WILL PLEASE FANS: FULL
CARD OF PRELIMINARIES
ARRANGED
Bv OSCAR L. MILAN


lightweight of Miami, will face
Alex Cupiano, Puerto Rico punch
or, in the main bout at the
Strand Arena Wednesday night.
Gonzalez, a former Key West
boy, who got his first start in the
Athletic Club here as a prelim-
mary boy to the Willie Jackson
John Nebo fight some ten years
ago, has made a name for himself
in the boxing world since leaving
his home town.
Although Felix has probably
met up with some of the toughest
little guys in the state during his
career, IN Alex Cupiano he will
find a figher who can take it as
well as dish it out. That Alex is
tops was proven Friday afternoon
when, in his sparring session, he
donned the gloves with Battling
Czech, hard hitting negro fight
er, who gave the Puerto Rican a
dandy workout. At one time,
Alex let Czech hit him with
everything he had with no effect
shown on the visiting boxer,
Gonzalez, on the other hand, is
working hard and earnestly at
the Cuban Club gymnasium,
where he works. out with Chino
Hernandez, Kid Tarzan and Ern-
est Ogden daily. Felix impress
ed a large number of fans who
have watched both boys in gym
work.
Both fighters being of the slug
ging type, there's no doubt that
the fans will see a whale of a
scrap. Gonzalez may be favored
to win because he is a Ieft-hand
puncher, but then again, who
knows what Cupiano may be able
to do against a southpaw battler?
He looks good and punches hard.
Word was received late yester-
day afternoon from Pop" Da-
Wis that Freddie Green would be
unable to live up to his agree
ment in meeting Chino Herman
DEE, local popular battler, in the
semi~final because of a bad nose.
1t seems the Michigan fighter
will have to submit to an opera
ton, which will probably keep
him out of the ring for a couple
of months. Davis has recon-
mended Kid Fernandez, a Tampa
bantamweight, who he guaran-
tees to be a crowd-pleaser and
the same type of fighter as
Green. Fernandez will meet
Chino in the eight-round semi
windup. This promises to be a
humdinger, as Hernandez is in
tip-top shape, having kept him
self in the pink of condition for
several weeks.
= In a special Six-rounder, Kid
Tarzan will trade punches with
Allen Mccain, a boxer who calls
California his home. Tarzan, not
much of a boxer but a whale of
a puncher, has high aspirations in
the boxing game and will go out
ready for the kill in this scrap.
Mccain is looking out for the
future, too, and will use a de-
Tense attack in hopes of victory.
The winner of this contest has
been promised a semi final to the
Buddy Spiedel-Mario Perez card
next week.
A bout which gives all indica-
tions of being a smuggling match
is the Battling Geech-Kid Wiki
inson six-round preliminary.
There's a personal grudge angle
here and the boys are going out
to settle it in the ring. This is a
winner take-all contest.
A four-rounder and the usual
battle-royal will complete the
card.
Reserve tickets go on, sale to-
morrow and may be had at the
box office of the Arena at any
time.
