I'VE have a new champion
and it looks like he's going to
be a good one" Gibson said.
Martinez was down seven
times officially before Referee
Harry Kessler stopped it after
50 seconds of the fourth round
with Vince fiat on his back.
Kessler raised Atkins hand
and didn't bother to count
Martinez out.
II could have counted to 80"
Kessler told ringsiders.
Slugger Atkins had been a 2
to betting favorite in his
hometown but not even his
strongest supporters expected
such a sharp performance.
The only thing equal about
the two fighters was their
weight. Each weighed 1882
pounds.
9,777 See Slaughter
A crowd of 9,777 which paid
$62,8i0 saw the end coming
after 80 seconds Of the first
round. Martinez led with the
Ticking jab, then went down
from a left hook to the stomach
and a.savage overland right.
Vince got up at the count of
two. He was through, but
didn't know IL.
With the crowd roaring.
Atkins dubbed Vince around
the ring and scored two more
knockdowns in the first. Mar
tinez went down two other
times but Kessler termed one
a push-down, the other a slip.

the third flrSt-round knockout

around the shoulders to lead
him to the stool.
Martinez faced certain dis

bloody face and wobbly legs
but survived. He took a bad
beating in the third and went
down for a nine-count early
in the fourth before the end
came.

Atkins said. But I've fought

Virgil said Martinez had
