(B! The Cenndhn Preu)

Bunny McCloskey chalked up his fourth straight victory in a local ring here Saturday night when he disposed of Tex Medley in three rounds, but he had no easy time with the former Army

champion despite the fact that the bout lasted just a little over seven minutes.

s‘- ~i~ O 1'

Mcdley.a southpaw bettler threw back any insinuation that he was e pushover by his performance. In the first round he he'd a de- cided advantage over the hard- hitting McCioskey; in the second round he came back off the floor after two crushing punches to the mid-section that would have kay- oed many another fighter then and there and although the lights went out. for him in the third he made a decided impression on the majority of the fans that saw him in action.

+ + 4- i As has happened so many times in the past, McCloskey's

undoubted punching power again was the deciding factor in the outcome. Not. as sharp as usual due to a long layoff, Bunny's ad- mirers had little to cheer about in the first stages of the scrap but as the champion warmed up to his task the left hand began to take its toil and the two knockdowns in the second round marked the beginning of the end.

Although losing the second round on a foul Bunny's low punch was not aadellberate action by any means of thinking. Mc- Closkey doesn't fight that way: Ii/Iedley was wearing his trunks rather high which might have led some of the fans to thinking the punches were low but as referee Dannv McCormeck explained af- ter the fight. there was no doubt about the finisher that had knockout written all over it the short distance it travelled.

4- -l- + -l-

Saturday night's scrap will benefit McCloskcy greatly. It will sharpen up his punching and with

"ciddiitg a little speed to his ‘work

he should be ready for Jimmy Mooney at the Forum in s. couple cl weeks‘ time. (“scrap that al- ready hiis whetted the fans‘ int- erest to a high point.

This young Bud Lund who per- formed against Beau Jack Satur- day night has the earmarks of iin up and coming scrapper. Trained by Albert (Kid) Nicker- son, himself quite a leather push- er of note in his hey-day. Lund gave an exhibition of boxing ab- ility that was pleasing Saturday night.

It was only his third profes- sional fight but already he is gaining the‘ poise of e. veteran campaigner. Nickerson. who runs a gymnasium in the City, has dune a splendid Job on the youngster and with the addition of some extra punching power mid experience Lund should be heard from plenty in the coming months.

-l- 4- O O

Taken all in nll the card was s cz-owd pleuser. Medley by his showing proved he was no push- over and by so doing set some of the so-cailed experts back-and hard. The supporting bouts turn- ed out to be action-filled affairs with the boys tossing tons of leather and although the semi- final ended rather hurriedly this is s daily occurrence that hsp- pens to topline performers whln they come into contact with n flstful of explosive leather.
