LaMotta Rated Choice
Over StribIing, Says
He'll Win in Six

AiGdieWeight Contender Jake La
Motta remains the big choice to take
all n tonight's 10-round fight at
Griffith Stadium against Local Boy
Ken Stribling. Stribling supporters
were only hopeful of catching Jake
a trife rusty in his first fight in six
months.
.Stribling practically is unknown
outside of Washington and LaMot-
Ia must beat him to hang onto his
slipping prestige. He has been on
enforced retirement since his TkOI
loss 10 Billy Fox. The New York au-
thorities' suspended him for failure
to report pre-flght injury. 1hat
ban is due to be lifted soon and as
far as LaMotta is concerned Strib-
ling tonight is just warmup prior
to his return to the big town.
Stribling doesn't care how lightly
Lamotta regards tonight's fracas.
IF fellows like Cecil Hudson and
Billy Fox can beat LaMotta, know
I can, too. I can box as well as Fox
and certainly I can punch better
than Hudson"
La Motta also put out strong
pref1ght prediction. 1T might take
me four rounds, it might take me
five. or even six, but before it's over
Stribling will know he's been in a
fight. I should have him out of
there in six rounds. Fact is, I can't
afford to lose"
The fight has the makings OF a
good one. La Motta is crouching
body puncher. He practically in
vites the opposition to come in and
hit him. after which he gets in his
own good work stribling is
standup fighter who hasn't run away
from. any one yet.
Both will weigh around 162 to-
night. Stribling is several inches
taller and has a slight edge in reach.
La Motta is solidly built, with broad
shoulders and tapering hips. His
comparatively short statue for a
middleweight is one reason for his
body punching style. AS he explains
1t, IF I punch for the head, it leaves
me wide open"
The supporting card. starting at
s:45 pm, features an elght-rounder
between Jimmy Cooper, local ban
tamweight, and Joe Cay of England.
A five -rounder pairs Sam Jefferson
and John Hansbury, both of Wash
ington. Two other fours are on the

We thought the all-Navy

I'VE thought so, too," said
Spike, "but some of the bouts
were so close we decided to bring
East all the winners. runners-up
and other kids who looked good,
give 'em more training and let
'em fight it out again. 1t makes q
difference whether a kid trained
on the beach or on a ship,
