Camera & Friends

Bombo Chevalier, California heavyweight, was on his feet again and ready to fight in the sixth round of his bout with Primo Camera, monster Italian. Suddenly the crowd stood up, yelled, hooted. Someone in Bombo's corner had thrown in a large white towel, giving the fight to Carnera. Immediately the California Boxing Commission started an inquiry, summoned Bombo, who said Perry, his own second, was the man who threw the towel, that Perry had threatened to kill him if he did not "lie down" for Camera. Bombo further said that Camera's crowd had bribed Bombo's seconds to rub irritants into Bombo's eyes and choke him between rounds. The California Commission revoked Camera's license-to-fight indefinitely. New York revoked it permanently.
