(UP) — Jolting Joe laiuis, still carrying a killer punch in either hand, turned coy today about any effort to regain the heavyweight championship he abandoned a year ago because of advancing age. Despite a nifty eight-round knockout victory over Pat Valentino last night in a scheduled !<*- round exhibition bout with inounce gloves, Louis said "I haven't changed my mind yet" about com Ing back to the prize ring for another tremendous title payoff. "I really don't know what I'm gonna do," he said in the dressing room after he belted Valentino cold with one slashing burst. He had nearly cut his challenger to ribbons in seven previous fiery rounds. "I've still got two exhibitions in this country, and my manager has booked me for I<> four-round exhibitions in South America I'm going down there in February." It was more than an exhibition which Louis put on against Valentino. He went into the ring admitting that he was going to try for a kayo over Valentino as quickly as possible. If he did better against the San Francisco 185-pounder than heavywrlght champion Ezzard Charles did in a title fight last September, there was the clearcut intimation that he would consider strongly the . idea of returning to combat. ' In one way. Louis did better. He ’ outpointed Valentino all the way. : bloodying the westerner's left eye I in the first round, his lip in the r fifth and his nose in the sizth. Charles, on the other hand, was ’ outpointed by Valentino for seven * rounds But the chainpion kayoed the nioiehalred challenger at 30 seconds in the eighth round, while Ixiuis took 2:56 of the eighth tc ; score the same result. First Louis staggered Valentine with a hard right, then he cornered him again, set him up with a shaip left, and drove him dear through the ropes with a short , right. Valentino hardly quivered as ' he lay on the ring apron for a Ifi count. Champion Charles, who won the title by beating Jersey Joe Wai cott after Louis’ retirement, watched the bout. He said he was perfectly willing to meet the former titleholder at any time and believed him the most logical contender for his crown. But It’s up to the international boxing dub. Charles said. "I'll fight anyone IRC puts in against me."
