The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-10-08
HORNE FAVORED OVER SUGGS IN
 SEMI-FINAL GO
Main Bout ShonId Be Real SIuggeroO; Collins to
 Face Lucas in Prelinl

If advance reservations are any indication, Buckingham Hall will bg damned to the rafters tonight when Promoter George Mulligan presents the first indoor boxing card of the season for the Waterbury A. c.
 Jerry Fiorello, hard-hitting Brooklyn middleweight, and Larney Moore, popular Valley Stream, |. l., l50- -polnder, are matched in an eight round bout that looms as tossup.
 A second eight rounder calls for Sonny Horne, sensational Irish youngster from Niles, Ohio, to take on Oscar Suggs, hard hitting New- port, R. l., Negro, 150-pounder, who specializes in pulling upsets.
 Fiorello made a big hit in losing a questionable decision to Indian Gomez here last summer while Moore was in two action packed fights with the Cuban, getting 8 draw and a win. Both Moore and the 24-year-old Italian are crowd pleasers who believe that good offense is the best defense.
 Standout
 Horne is regarded by many fight experts as the best prospect of any weight in boxing today and at the age of IS he has already boxed several bouts = all of which are limited to six rounds by the corn- mission = in New York City. Only Monday night Sonny stole the show from Maxie Berger and Gene John- son at St. Nicks as he punched out a win over Phil Norman, highly regarded Detroit 150-ponder.
 The red-headed Ohio lad also has wins over such top notch ScrapperS as Van McNutt, heavy hitting Balti- more Negro; Milton Kessler, Larry Fontana, Jimmy Mandell and Vic Dellicurti, who defeated Indian Gomez in Madison Square Garden in an eight round bout two weeks ago.
 Tonights six round seminal fig ures to be real Slugfest. It will match Tom Collins, local Negro welter who seems to improve with age, against Mike Lucas, Polish youngster from Anbridge, Pa, who had a great record in the amateurs. Lucas has had only three pro bouts, but won them all with ease.
 Two fours to round out the card will pair Sal Lucatto, aDnbury light weight, with Tim Denick, Hartford 235-pounder, and Bobby Holt, one of Danbury's fighting twins, against Larry Robinson, New Haven l47- pounder.
