Uzcudun v. Von Porat

It is hard for a short man to uppercut a tall man's jaw, but Paulino Uzcudun found how to do it. He would swing a left into the ribs of Otto Von Porat, lantern-jawed Norwegian, and as Von Porat's head came down it would meet a right hand whisking up. Bettors who had figured that the Norwegian had two chances of landing the best punches for every chance squat Uzcudun had of staying away from them, cheered when, in the first round, Uzcudun spread his legs to keep from falling. After that Uzcudun kept his chin on Von Porat's chest and his elbows in front of his own jaw. Suddenly an elbow would straighten, a fist appear, whirl through the air, land on flesh. Paulino's prestige has been dimmed by recent drubbings handed out by Max Schmeling, Tuffy Griffiths. His victory leaves the heavyweight situation more muddled than ever.
