Graziano Wins Over Fusari On Technical K.O. New York. Sept. 15. —(UP) — Rocky Graziano whs still a big question mark today, although he had won his first real comeback . bout on a technical knockout in the 110th round over welterweight Char- ' lie Fu»ari. Hi* victory over the blonde milkman from Irvington, N. J., probably will reward Ro< ky with a chance to fight Robert Ville main. French middleweight, at Madison square garden in November. According to the official score sheet*. Rocky was behind when referee Ruby Goldstein stopped last night’s bout at the Polo Ground* at 2:04 of the 10th round to save slender young Fuaari from possible serious injury. A crowd of 31.092 contributed a disappointing gate of $135,117 to watch the brawl. Only one genuine knockdown occurred In the fight. That wa* in the 10th round when Fusari hit the deck for a count of nine, shortly before referee Goldstine intervened. However. Graziano was half-1 pushed, half punched to the canvas in the second round, and he suffered a gash on his inside left Lrow in that session. In the sixth round, however. Rocky brought blood from a gash over Fusari'* ’ left eye and to his nose. Although 27-year old Rocky out-, weighed his slender opponent by 12 pounds-159*4 t° 147**~he elect-1 ed to spar cautiously with Charlie in the early round*. It seemed then that Fusari. a 2 to 1 underdog, might provide an upset that would send Rocky into retirement. Rocky missed many more punch-' e* than he landed because he was off on his timing Graziano, the former shagslugger. surprised everyone by electing to box with young Charlie in the early rounds Later Rocky opened up with crude left jabs as "flying saurcers," and with long-! range smashes to head and body. Rocky apparently was desperately trying to land "one good one." | He finally landed in the HRh and final round He staggered the Jer-' sey blond w-ith a left hook to the chin; then drove him into the ropes with a looping right to the jaw. Another looping right dropped Charlie to one knee for a count of nine When he rose, he was battered against the ropes until Goldstein intervened. It was the first time Fusari had failed to last the distance in 67 professional fights. Don't let the polio crisis become a polio disaster.
