Eng|and's Ring Stock
Rises as Woodcock
Kayoes Lesnevich
BY the Associofed Press

LONDON, Sept. 18.-Bruce Wood
cock has put Great Britain back into
the world heavyweight picture with
his surprising knockout of Worlds
Lightweight Champion Gus Lesne-
vich, of Cliffside, N. ].
British sports fans, who have
spent much of the postwar era see
ing their ring heroes defeated by
invaders, were heartened by the
Doncaster fighters performance last
night in sending Lesnovich to the
canvas in lao of the eighth frame
of their scheduled 10-round nontitle
bout
The triumph of the British boxer,
knocked out by Tami Mauriello in
New York City last spring, was wit
messed by sell-out crowd that paid
SITS, 900 to get into Harringay Arena.
Woodcock, aiming for a return
bout with Mauriello in London,
boxed like a new fighter, displaying
ring skill unlike anything he has
shown in England before.
He kept Lesnovich at bay with a
jabbing left and brought his right
smash into action as early as the
second round, when he put the
American down momentarily for no
count. The first round had gone to
Lesnovich, but after that Woodcock
was the aggressor.
Lesnevich's left eye was battered
shut in the fourth round. 1t ap-
peared in the sixth that Woodcock
was heading for a knockout as he
hammered Lesnevich across the ring
with a locomotive right. But Gus
quickly recovered and finished the
round trading blows toe to toe.
Lesnevich tried gamely to regain
his feet after Woodcock applied the
cllncher in the eighth with a right
smash to the chin. Gus still was on
his knees, his fists immobile. when
Referee Moss De Yong finished the
count.
The only damage suffered by
Woodcock was a cut on the left
cheekbone and a bloody nose.
The only setback the 25-year-old
Woodcock has suffered in his career
was the fifth-round knockout at the
hands OF Mauriello. Lesnevich, 81,
has taken the full count only three
times in his IL years in the prize
ring.
Lesnevich weighed 1917, Wood
cock 1872.

Ever since they've been in the
