fighter met defeat ln an inter- national boxing match when he absorbed a fifth round knockout at the hands of Tami Mauriello in the Gardens Friday night. Listen- ing to the fight over the ether Woodcock appeared to be more than holding his own and on his way to creating a major upset. However the Americans twelve pound weight advantage asserted itself as he got stronger as the fight progressed and after taking Woodcock’: best punches kept bor- ing in until he finally connected with the clincher. l‘ 4' 11
