"Thats not the point" Goldman insisted THE point
that Hurley is making it like Matthews
jah without his asking Hurley Look

He's been knocked out He's old and good fighter
IT'S GoLDMANs BELIEF that Marcano wasn't given
enough credit for his knockout of Joe Louis last when
Charles Louis" he sad people thought

Charles But when Joe met my guy he'd won nine fights in
row and was in shape Yet people said Rocky knocked out

didn't anybody because Matthews something
made with his hands"

Louis Listen the only heavyweight who really licked
anybody Jim Jeries He beat Corbett Fzsmmons and
Tom sharkey."
Charley stalked off, presumably to hunt up his
Tiger. 1t was getting near time for his workout.
JOEY MAXIM the light heavyweight champ walked into
dining He and Murphy, who last year fought
savage which Murphy ost embraced like onglost
brothers. Maxim sat at the table, of the
reporters asked Murphy how he felt about the Marcano
Matthews fight.
Well never fought Rocky" he said "And, been
quite while since fought Matthews I'll this if Matthews
goes against if he gets by the first four
and doesn't get tired hurt it'll be rugged
The coloru 1ishman thinks boxers incentive one of
the things Some think they want to fight when
they climb into ring" he said land hen after couple of
rounds they say themselves the hell with it. Some other
time These the losers lot depends who wants to
win most-MatthewS Marciano"
