indicates he does. he can count on
the solid fists of Willie Pep, a prin-

Pep, who the president of the Ma

as "a very good little fighter" is
eager to prove he's not only all that
Greene says, but the best in the
world.
And to back up his intentions,
sharp-featured Willie, the world 1866

today informed Greene, and every
body else, that he's anxious to toss
the necessary leather to eliminate
the claim Of Jackie Callura, the NBA

Wright in Madison Square Garden
and Callura gained the NBA title
by defeating Jackie Wilson at Provi-

to take any other steps that will
clarity the situation, and is willing
to waive any claims he might have

Pete Galiano, the Baltimore ship

bly, will be a slight favorite, about

In the two bouts against Starr,
Galiano demonstrated his willing

more of the same may be the menu
for tomorrow night. Petro is a
puncher of no mean ability, as he
demonstrated time and again. Win
ner of II of his IA professional
fights, Charley has chilled seven
OF his opponents.
Charley's ability to take punish
ment was questioned by Joe Torres,
however, and Joe finally knocked
him out after giving him a general
beating, especially around the mid
section where Charley proved a soft
touch. Following a two-month lay
of after that knockout, only one
against him, Charley came back
with his defenses strengthened by
session Of stiff workouts with the

Sole in five rounds after Sole tried
unsuccessfully to reach Charley's

Other than to Torres, Petro has
lost a decision to Gordon Neil. He
